Aroma
Barrel fermented Grenache has lifted the red fruit and florals with a bit of underlying funk.

Palate
The palate is rich and full from the fruit power and wild barrel ferment but the crisp acid and long gentle tannin grip keep the wine balanced and focused.

Vinification
The fruit was handpicked and crushed to the press, with 2 hours on skins to develop colour and texture. The Grenache was then pressed directly to old red puncheons; no clarifying or additions. Wild fermentation was followed by aging on lees for 6 months before assemblage and bottling.

Love this classic style of rosé. It gets some interesting
treatment with pressing straight into old oak puncheons
with wild fermentation adding a degree of funk. The
colour is pale onion skin. But the flavour, though
restrained, still offers plenty. Crisp and dry with a little
tannin to give the palate some poise and structure. Like
it.
