Tasting note
This has fabulous intensity of juicy damson and purple plum fruit, lifted by a lilting freesia and violet nuance, with cream and a rich savouriness underneath. In the mouth it is beautifully seamless and pure, with a texture that is silky-soft with a plump, pillowy richness. Fantastic, sustained finish.
Viticulture
Crafted from vineyards mirroring Northern Rhône's latitude, our terroir highlights finesse over power. Sand over basalt soil nurtures balance. Aged in once-used barrels, minerality shines. Hand-harvested, macerated grapes yield concentrated flavours sans excess intensity.
Vinification
22% of batches underwent whole cluster fermentation, while the rest used destemmed grapes. Stem inclusion imbues earthy, savory notes that complement the fruit's purity. For added depth, approximately 20% experienced extended maceration. Post-fermentation, most young wine aged in neutral French and American oak barrels; the rest matured in new French oak
