Description
This wine offers a heady mix of strawberries, cherries, plums, and aniseed, with subtle hints of truffle, exotic mushrooms, and spice in the background. A smooth, velvety entry unfolds into an elegant mouthful of preserved raspberries and cherries, complemented by oak-induced spice notes of cinnamon and sandalwood.
Fresh, lively acidity balances the supple, juicy tannins, leading to a lengthy finish that transitions from fruit to satisfying notes of truffles and earthiness. A rich, warming wine, it’s best enjoyed with game meats or a hearty mushroom risotto.

The grapes were hand sorted, destalked and crushed before being pumped into classic open fermenters. The grapes were cold soaked for a day and manual plunging and pump overs were done at the required intervals. After fermentation, the skins were gently pressed.
The wine was put into 500 L French Oak barrels. Here it underwent malolactic fermentation. The wine spent 16 months maturing in French Oak before being bottled.
