Divine perfume encompassing red and blue fruits, florals, talc, forest floor and crushed fresh herbs. Supple and delicate red fruits, including cherry, currants and strawberry compote, meld with Asian 5-spice driving the medium-bodied palate. This is a beautifully expressive wine with flow and grace.

Grapes were de-stemmed into 2T open fermenters followed by a cold maceration period of between 3 and 5 days before the onset of wild fermentation. At the completion of primary fermentation, the grapes were pressed and the wine transferred to French oak barriques and Puncheons (15% new) for natural malo-lactic fermentation. Average skin contact time was 17 days. Barrel maturation was for 9 months.
