WINEMAKER’S NOTES We harvested our fruit in mid-October 2022, and sorted the clusters before adding them into a concrete vessel for carbonic fermentation. Carbonic lasted for 20 days before destemming and placing must in wooden vats for 10 days until fermentation was complete. The juice was pumped into new Moldovan barrels and was aged for 24 months before bottling.

SOMMELIER’S NOTES The nose is concentrated with aromas of kirsch, plum, raspberry, chocolate, and cedar. On the palate, it is dry, lush, and weighty. There are more red and black berry flavors on the tongue, accompanied by a long, ripe fnish and a hint of herbs that highlight its varietal character. This wine is best decanted and served in large glasses. Pairing it with a strong cheddar or a similar hard, salty cheese would be ideal. (JL – Nov. 2023)
