Cork

Impressive density, given its silken finish and alcohol below 13% – a wine of sheer concentration. Aromas of anise, smoked sea salt and dried sumac tease out notes of wet stone and dried savoury herbs. The palate is supple but with a tightly wound core of fresh red fruits laying the scene for savoury and mineral accents, backed by crushed basalt and Mediterranean scrub, all leading one to want to revisit this wine in five years. Fermented with two-thirds whole-cluster fruit, then aged for 19 months in French oak barriques, 30% new.
