Description
A structured wine that requires longer bottle maturation before release. The green pepper, fig and slightly smoky character are nicely complemented by some oak spice. This wine should keep for up to 5 years and the style typifies the terroir it grows in.

Vinification
In 2022 the grapes were crushed and destalked to allow for 24 hour skin contact. The juice was then racked to barrels (80% new French oak /20% older barrels) where it underwent spontaneous fermentation. Malolactic was avoided to retain freshness and batonage occurred weekly. After 6 months the wine was removed from barrel and was stabilized before bottling.
