VINTAGE & VITICULTURE

A mild winter followed by a warm spring led to an early bud break, raising hopes for an abundant harvest. However, the summer brought some unexpected challenges, including sporadic heatwaves and intermittent rainfall. The careful management of the vines, coupled with the utilization of advanced viticultural practices, ensured the grapes reached optimal maturity. Conditions for harvest were quite favorable, with wineries reporting a broad window of opportunity to bring in grapes.

WINEMAKER’S NOTES

Ripe Fruit was crushed and fermented on the skins individually. Fermentation on the skins lasted 15 days then the must was pressed and malolactic fermentation was done in stainless steel tanks.

TASTING NOTES

A fruit forward red wine with aromatic notes of strawberry and blackberry. On the palate, cherries and touch of cassis with subtle spice notes and soft tannins. Always a crowd pleaser, a lovely weekday wine to match with a cheese burger or lasagna or on the weekend pair with grilled flank steak or beef kabobs with sweet onion, cherry tomato and halloumi cheese.
