Production Details Hand-picked early and delivered cold; given a cold soak and slow fermentation, pressed after reaching dryness, matured for 18 months in oak, and gently racked in late spring. The sheet prints residual sugar as “<0,” which is not normalized as a numeric residual-sugar claim. The 2023-labeled sheet also prints “HARVEST: September 25, 2025”; because that conflicts with the stated 2023 vintage, it is retained here as a source anomaly rather than a harvest_dates claim.
Tasting Notes Vanilla, lilac, marzipan, red cherry, long pepper, raspberry, cherry cobbler and tomato leaf; soft fruit-driven texture with firm tannins
Food Pairing Oak-grilled pork chops, truffle pasta, lean meats, game and wild-boar ragù
