Tasting Notes
A grown up, serious profile that still manages to be bright and vivacious at the same time. Bramble fruits picked straight from the bush mingle with an almost inky, liquorice undertone and an ever so pretty lavender note keeps that brightness ever present. Like the white this has that same minerality that provides amazing structure from the 90 year old vines.

Terroir, varietal expression and the vintage year are the driving forces behind their beautiful and expressive wines.
