Sourced from 16-year-old vines (Clones: Massale, Cruz, Dijon, 459, 115, and 777), fermented 30% whole cluster, and aged 15 months in 38% new French oak barrels from Atelier Centre France Tonnellerie. Only 449 cases were produced.
The wine opens with crunchy red fruits—cranberry and pomegranate followed by candied cherries—effusive and dynamic, while notes of orange zest, pine needle, and white pepper spice add intrigue. The palate is immediately silky and juicy, layered with darker fruit flavors than the aromas suggest. The wine’s purity is nearly perfect with all its elements driving toward a sleek, focused finish, high-toned with lingering spice notes.
