Tasting Note
Fresh red cherry and plum with violet florals, crushed-stone minerality, subtle spice and earthy undergrowth. Medium-bodied, bright acidity, fine-grained tannins and a savory, slightly peppery finish; age-worthy yet approachable young.

Production Method
Hand-harvested fruit; destemmed with cold pre-fermentation, low-temperature alcoholic fermentation, aged ~12 months in French oak barrels (partial new); sustainable viticulture, minimal intervention.
