Hand-harvested with 30% whole cluster inclusion and 10 days maceration. Aged in French and Hungarian hogsheads for 9 months. A delicate and pretty little beastie. There are wild raspberries, bilberry and bursting pomegranate seeds spraying from their carcasses. Strawberry sorbet, shiso leaf and nettle. A sandy, rust metal character and hint of Moroccan spice. Acidity is cutting and sweeps across the palate like wildfire. Crunchy is one word, puckering another. This is wine made for fatty meat charcuterie boards at lunchtime and plenty of hotly debated conversations. Drink now.
