Oak Types French oak
Production Details Sixty percent of the fruit was hand-harvested; the ferment comprised 11% whole bunches and 89% destemmed fruit. Following indigenous fermentation, the wine matured for 15 months in French oak barriques, 22% new, and was fined and filtered. The sheet prints a bottling date of “Dec-20,” which is internally inconsistent with 15 months of maturation for a 2020 harvest; no canonical bottling-date claim is therefore proposed.
Tasting Notes Olive tapenade, mulberry, spice, game, ripe tannins, intensity and a savory-fruit balance
