Profile

Description

"The currants and blackberries on the nose are very impressive with wet-earth and lavender undertones. Full body and super-integrated tannins that melt into the wine. The quality of the tannins is incredible with fantastic length and mouthfeel. So much concentration and balance at the same time. Such beauty. From biodynamic grapes. This is the greatest wine ever from here." from James Suckling (12/2018).

Pairing

Charcuterie board with hard cheeses.

Aromas and Flavours

Blackberry

A little sweet, a little tart, this black fruit is rather quiet but persistent.

Black currant

Sometimes also referred to as 'cassis', this black fruit tasting note is common in red wines.

Earth

Reminiscent of playing in the fresh dirt as a child, that black earth rolling around your fingers. Damp, woodsy, balsam.

Cherry

Fresh B.C. cherries out of the back of a truck, all eaten before you can get them home!

Smoke

Reminds you of singing songs by the campfire on a beautiful summer evening.
