Technical Analysis
Tasting note
Upfront perfume of lavender oil is matched by cranberries, pomegranate and watermelon, revealing prominent savoury spice of black and pink peppercorns. Fresh sour-cherry acidity on the palate is backed by spicy tannins which add structure to this otherwise light-bodied wine. Clean, dry finish with a touch of red fruit and spice.
Vinification details
In keeping with the philosophy of minimal intervention winemaking, 25% of the Grenache is fermented as whole clusters. Spontaneous ferment occurs in open top fermentation tanks and maturation takes place in seasoned 500l French oak barrels for approximately 14 months.

Technical Analysis
Tasting note
A lively combination of red cherries and black currant jump out of the glass. A floral aroma of lavender overlays notes of flint and iron. The fruit profile develops into blueberries on the palate with sour red cherry notes adding to the tangy acidity. Cedar spice lends some savoury complexity to this medium bodied wine, with light yet firm tannins. Vibrant and fresh, with a long sour cherry finish.
