After 9 months in the stainless steel tanks the wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered. 300 bottles of 2017 vintage produced.
Tasting Notes
With notes of rose petal and bitter Seville orange, and compelling minerality, this tannic and textured wine from the thick-skinned, small-berried regional oddity is really quite unique.
Food Match
A great companion for marinated poultry dishes and stews or a lamb and apricot tagine.
