Fresh raspberries, boysenberries and rhubarb spring out of the glass with a whiff of spice from the whole bunch component.
Grenache
The wine was then aged in old French oak puncheons for 6 months before blending and bottling with no fining and no filtration.
The palate is fresh and crisp with a layer of bright red fruits that draws the wine across the palate, makes you salivate and leaves you wanting more. The tannins are fine and elegant, and the acidity gives this wine a lot of precision on the palate.
A small portion of whole bunch (7%) was used to give this delicate vintage some crunch on the palate, and some spice and lift on the nose. The remainder of the fruit was gently destemmed out in the vineyard and fermented as whole berries to give a nice carbonic maceration juiciness to the wine. The wild ferment was foot stomped twice a day in old concrete fermenters for 15 days before gentle basket pressing.
