From the organically grown (certified) home vineyard. Matured in concrete and cement-terracotta vessels. This sits beautifully at medium weight, cinched with ultrafine, graphite-laced tannins, very slim-line and succulent with red cherry and tart raspberry characters, with a fine dusting of dried herb and white pepper, faint game meat notes, a lemon myrtle kind of lift, touches of alpine herbs, too. The texture is beautiful, otherworldly almost, the wine delivering levity and finesse for the variety. And, importantly, so damn delicious.
96 points. Mike Bennie, Wine Companion.
