A deeply concentrated, complex nose of red fruits, along with blackberry and blueberry. The compact and powerful palate displays freshly picked dewy red fruits. There is a refreshing finish, a sense of minerality. This is an elegant but powerful and lightly savoury wine with structured fine tannins.The fruit is handpicked across multiple vineyards & blocks, and destemmed into 2 ton open fermenters as whole berries and left to start fermenting naturally. It is not touched until a 2-3° drop in baumé, which allows fermentation to occur inside the grape berry to increase the aromatics of the finished wine. Once fermentation starts strongly then the ferment is hand-plunged 2-3 times per day for 15 days. The wine is left on skins for post ferment maturation for another 15 days. It is than pressed off skins and racked to barrel. 10 % new oak across d’Aquittaine and Sirugue extra tight grain light toast. In spring the wine is racked and returned to barrel. After a total of 12 months barrel maturation the wine is bottled without fining or filtration. - Sam Coverdale, Winemaker
