Taste Profile: The nose is complex, showing purple flowers, sour figs, dark chocolate and wet earth. Crushed fruits, including blueberry and black cherry, lead on the palate before black olives, cloves, salted liquorice and cured meats. Powdery tannins, fresh acidity and a density of fruit make this a more serious but no less juicy and smashable vintage
Winemaking Process: All fruit was hand-picked, lightly crushed, and whole bunch fermented for ten days, pressed and aged in steel tanks (75%) and older barrels (25%) for ten months.
Easy drinking red wines with bright fruit aromas and low tannins. The wines are often released without much aging in tank, oak barrels or bottle, and are meant to be drunk early
These wines typically can be nejoyed without food, and are usually served cooler. They can be light bodied wines like Beaujolais, or light extraction styles that do not emphasize tannin & color extraction
WINES FROM UNIQUE REGIONS & BOUTIQUE WINERIES
