Fresh red cherry and raspberry with earthy tobacco, cocoa and iron-minerality; firm, rustic tannins soften into a silky mid-palate, bright acidity and a long savory finish.

Production Method
Hand-harvested, partial destemming, spontaneous fermentation in concrete vats/barriques; aged 12–18 months in French oak (low % new). Organic/biodynamic viticulture, minimal intervention.
