Production Details Grapes were harvested manually, sorted and vinified with 60% whole clusters. The producer reports an 11-day fermentation with 5–7 punch-downs and pumping over, followed by pressing and 2 weeks of settling. The wine then matured entirely in 1–5-year-old barrels for 12 months, was racked to vat and rested for 3 months, and was bottled without filtration or fining. The importer additionally specifies natural yeast but gives the settling period as 2–3 weeks rather than the producer's 2 weeks.
Tasting Notes Blackberry, Cayenne pepper, flinty gunpowder, violet sweets, liquorice, cigar box and chalk; rounded and delicate palate with a powdery texture and a long, flavorful finish.
Food Pairing Lamb shoulder croquette and kimchi
