Tasting Note
Red cherry, raspberry and rose-petal aromas with spicy underbrush, iron and savory earth. Medium–full bodied, succulent fruit framed by firm, polished tannins and a saline, persistent finish.

Food Pairing
Roast beef, lamb, duck breast, mushroom risotto; Peking duck, char siu, Korean BBQ short ribs, miso-glazed aubergine, aged cheddar and Comté.

Production Method
Hand-harvested Pinot Noir; mostly destemmed, cool pre-fermentation maceration, native fermentations with gentle extraction; aged 15–18 months in French oak (20–30% new).
