Rueda Wine

A very individual expression of Carignan that shows a touch of spicy, flinty reduction over sea breeze, dried kelp, salty cassis, sour black plum and exotic complexing layers of graphite and crushed granite minerality. The palate is cool, penetrating but impressively punchy with zippy intense glassy acids, more sour black plum, tart spiced cranberry notes and a linear mouthfeel of intelligently early picked fruit.

Sour Plum

Fynbos

Cassis

Minerality

Grapes are handpicked and cooled overnight, the following morning the grapes were placed in an open-top bin to ferment. 50% of the grapes were destemmed whilst 50% were kept whole-bunch and crushed in the traditional foot-stomping method. Fermentation and maceration took place over 10 days, with one pump-over per day taking place to sustain cap health, not to extract further. After fermentation the wine was replaced into old 225L French oak barrels. Malolactic fermentation was spontaneous and in Autumn the wine was sulphured for the first time.
