2020 was an excellent growing season with consistent dry and warm weather from spring to fall. Grapes matured perfectly and natural cropping levels were moderate to low resulting in wines of wonderful concentration.
The mineral-rich soils of this Single Vineyard wine created a taste profile of unusual breadth and complexity with excellent varietal character. Hand-harvested on October 26th, 2020, and fermented with wild yeast in micro-cuvées. Aged 22 months in French oak, only the three finest barrels were selected for this exclusive bottling.
Single Vineyard. Vegan Friendly.
Wild fermented and aged in French oak barrels for 22 months.

What a gorgeous effort! Leafy, raspberry scented nose with delicate floral notes and newspaper ink. A refreshing lightness but with concentrated dark red and black berried fruit, spicy oak, tannins with a bit of a grip and a heavenly savoury minerally finish. Weight without heaviness. Tasted blind this wine was a standout in its flight. NWAC 2024
