Perfumed, ethereal Pinot with red cherry, redcurrant and strawberry, hints of spice, sous-bois and crushed quartz minerality. Silky, fine-grained texture, bright acidity and a long, chiselled finish.

Production Method
Hand-harvested; predominantly de-stemmed; native-yeast fermentation in small open vats with gentle extraction. Aged 15–17 months in French oak (≈25% new). Minimal-intervention, light filtration.
