Tasting Notes
Aroma
Floral and fragrant, with berries and a hint of
dried spice.
Appearance
Striking purple hues.
Palate
Rustic and juicy, with bright cranberry acidity,
fine tannins, and an elegant, lingering finish.
Vinification
Fruit for this wine was hand-picked to keep whole bunches
intact at harvest and then destemmed without crushing to allow
for whole-berry fermentation in 2T open fermenters. A portion
of the bunches were held back for a 100% whole bunch ferment
to achieve carbonic maceration. As soon as the ferment was
complete and zero baumé recorded, the fruit was pressed. The
wine was then matured in seasoned French oak for six months.
Vintage Notes
In 2025, relatively dry but warm conditions from allowed for an
even fruit set and healthy canopy growth, with enough warmth
to build flavour. The season’s low disease pressure, yielded
concentrated, pristine fruit that promises exceptional quality in
the cellar.
Food Matching
Charcuterie + pâté, or chilled if desired.
