De-stemmed and macerated for 30 days in fibreglass tanks before fermentation

 

Aged 2 years in concrete tank and ceramic amphorae

 

Bottled unfined and unfiltered

Dark and broody, yet retaining a fair amount of acidity and softened tannins providing a pleasant grippiness. Dark prunes and dates on the palate with violets, spice, herbs and earth all at play.
