Production Details The organically and biodynamically cultivated grapes are hand-picked, manually double-sorted on a conveyor belt and vibrating table, and destemmed. Extraction is gentle, by infusion. The producer states that no winemaking additives or SO2 are used during vinification. The wine matures in concrete vats until bottling, with no SO2 added before bottling.
Tasting Notes Producer: deep red with purple highlights; smoky aromas opening to peony, blackberry and black cherry; aromatic, smooth palate and a refreshing saline finish. Decanter: floral character with black olive and black pepper, harmonious acidity and tannins. James Suckling: dark cherry, plum, hot stone and peppercorn; medium-bodied, silky and supple, with sleek tannins and a juicy finish.
