Description

Grapes for this wine were harvested in two pickings for fresh and ripe components. Fermentation took place in both a concrete egg and 400L barrels and was matured on its gross lees for 7 months. Complex and elegant, with layers of pure, concentrated pear, green apple, and stone fruit flavors. The palate is fresh and tangy with a mineral core.
