Screwcap/Stelvin

So much perfume: frankincense, clove, cedar, woodsmoke and tobacco box. Oak is apparent in its youth, but it's very restrained and cradles the juicy and savoury-hued fruit. Fine-boned, clearly defined tannins make their mark, supplying the framework for the wine, allowing the fruit to swathe itself like an evening cloak of silk. Acid and tannin balance, black fruits are firm and tonal. The blackcurrant perfume and ironstone minerality dance lightly and evoke the warmth of an orchard bathed in sunlight. A captivating wine that will develop further with time. 65% whole bunch, wild ferment, 12 days on skins, pressed directly to large format, seasoned French oak. Unfined.
