It shows lifted floral
aromas mixed with freshly picked strawberries with a balanced
acidity and layered complexity that will astonish those expecting a
simple quaffer.
Appearance
A delicate pale salmon hue.
Palate
The palate has delicate hints of rose petal, watermelon and
Turkish delight, and should be consumed chilled or on ice.
Vinification
Each parcel was crushed in the cool of the morning to the press and held
on skins for 3-4 hours to extract the right amount of colour. Sangiovese
was held as juice, cold for 6 days, patiently waiting for the
Tempranillo to become flavour ripe. The 2 juice parcels
were co-fermented slow and cool to further add
floral intrigue and palate nuances.
Once fermentation finished, the wine spent 60 days on fluffy
lees with stirring, further enhancing the wines layered
complexity. A small batch was kept as full solids &
fermented wild & hot in 225L barriques, & then
post fermentation blended back into the parcel.
