The selectively hand-picked grapes underwent six weeks of spontaneous fermentation on the skins with vineyard-native yeasts. The wine then matured in used 600-litre wooden casks. In the glass, it shows a deep ruby colour with a slight haze. Aromas of blueberries and sour cherries combine with rosemary, pine needles, tobacco and graphite. The palate is full-bodied and velvety, with pronounced yet supple tannins and a long, spicy, fruit-driven finish. A distinctive feature is the absence of filtration and added sulphur.
