Vintage: 2023
Varietals: Gamay
Farming: Organic, Unfined/Unfiltered No added SO2
Shimmering purple. An expansive, spice-accented bouquet evokes ripe red/blue fruits, incense and potpourri. A nervy mineral element adds urgency. Juicy, focused and appealingly sweet, offering concentrated black raspberry, boysenberry and floral pastille flavors that tighten up slowly and turn spicier with aeration. Shows real heft but there’s a distinctly elegant quality to this wine as well. Finishes sappy, subtly tannic and extremely long, leaving a suave violet pastille note behind.
VINIFICATION: Whole cluster semi-carbonic fermentation and "a bit worked" -- not looking for extraction but for the soul of the wine.
AGING: Aged 6-8 months in neutral barrel. Then assembled into tank for 1 month before bottling. No fining or filtration. No SO2
