Tasting Note
Bright red-fruit core of cranberry, cherry and raspberry with floral notes of lavender and rose, baking spice, subtle pine and coastal salinity; savory forest-floor and mushroom undertones; vibrant acidity and a lingering, refined finish.

Food Pairing
Western: roasted duck, mushroom risotto, pork tenderloin, grilled salmon; Asian: miso-glazed salmon, teriyaki chicken, char siu, shiitake and soy-braised pork.

Production Method
Hand-harvested grapes; native-yeast fermentations; ~9–10 months on the lees in French oak (≈5–10% new); bottled unfined and sealed under screw cap.
