Drinking Window: 2018 - 2022
An experimental blend of Portuguese varieties from a friend's vineyard, co-fermented naturally and pressed using an old champagne press. The wine was then matured in old French barriques. The result is a rich wine full of black and red fruit with some juicy blue fruit in the mix too. It is grippy, woody and chocolatey on the finish.
