Tasting Note
Perfumed and layered: red and black cherry, boysenberry, lavender, bergamot, tea and savory herbs, with earthy mushroom and mineral notes. Silky texture, bright acidity and a long, precise finish.

Production Method
Hand‑harvested and cold‑sorted; small open‑top fermentations with indigenous yeasts, short cold soak and extended maceration, partial whole‑cluster, spontaneous MLF in barrel; aged in French oak; bottled unfined and unfiltered.
