Abundance of succulent red fruit - raspberry, mulberry, strawberry with violets and spice as result from the whole-bunch. Unmistakable minerality and earthiness from the Qvevri on the nose are very inviting. This carries through on the palate with a bright natural acidity which gives a wonderful freshness and drinkability to the wine. The wine has a great balance between the fine tannins of the whole bunch/bright natural acidity/abundance of fruit/ earthiness that keeps you intrigued and wanting more.

The grapes were picked between 22° and 23 °B and each variety was treated seperately. Grenache was destemmed into Qvevri, with a daily punch down during fermentation. The wine was left on skins for 1 month, then pressed and went back in Qvevri to age. The Syrah and Mourvedre went whole bunch into Qvevri with a daily punch down during fermentation. After 3 months on stems and skins the wine was pressed and went back in Qvevri to age.
