Production Details Practicing-organic fruit. Skurnik reports 25% whole-cluster fermentation, followed by 12 months in barrel—20% new—and four months in stainless steel. International Fine Wines instead reports spontaneous fermentation in concrete with 20% whole bunch, followed by one year in wood and six months in tank. The whole-bunch proportion and post-barrel tank duration therefore remain source conflicts.
Tasting Notes Immensely perfumed, lifted, red-fruited and vibrantly fresh
