Winemakers Notes
COLOUR:
Bright plum red
NOSE:
Perfumed high notes propelled by glacéed cherry, red jelly crystal aromatics. Elderflower? Florals and cedar beckon attention. A spike of choco-mint reminds instantly of its regional source. Bircher-muesli mix – verging towards more primal/earthy chaf/hay/hay-shed.
PALATE: Freshness and vivacity – a by-product of this wine’s age and upbringing. Pomegranate/cumquat/beetroot – inducing acidity/grip. Chalky/angular/grippy tannins pave the way to a long and lingering aftertaste.
PEAK DRINKING 2014 – 2028
