After fermentation the parcels were lightly pressed and racked to a variety of French oak barrels (20% new) where the wine was matured for 10 months. Minimally filtered and fined.

Tasting Notes
Pomegranate and bright boysenberry with lightness and punch, woodsy undertones, wildflowers, and sage. Silky and seamless across the palate with an edge of pink peppercorn and balanced whole bunch goodness.
