Fermentation was increasingly spontaneous in stainless steel, with portions in large oak and concrete egg; some Pinot Noir was co-processed with Zweigelt and a small portion was spontaneously fermented in used small oak.
Tasting Notes Open and multilayered; raspberry, cherry and herbal aromas; elegant cherry fruit, salty acidity, slight reduction and spice; taut, structured and refreshing
