"Organically grown and made. Vibrant cherry red in colour. Fresh lifted young berries, early season plums, dried herbs and savoury olive characters give a wine of amazing perfume. It’s bold and lush on the palate. Lovely cherry and chocolate characters interact with fine gravelly tannins, salty liquorice flavours and a sweet core of fruit. This leads to a wine of balance with a bright crisp finish. Touriga Nacional as a variety offers good cellaring potential, will be good to see where this goes In a few years.
Fruit was harvested in ideal conditions and fermented in shallow stainless steel open fermenters. The fruit is hand plunged to gently extract the tannin, keep the ferment as even as possible and maintain fruit purity. The wine is pressed off and aged on lees in older 500L French oak puncheons for 10 months. Unfiltered and unfined It goes to bottle."
90/100 Mike Bennie, The Wine Front (2021 Vintage)
"Organic farmed and raised. A very meaty, slurpy red of sweet, molasses soaked berry and nut scents and flavours. Huge, yet has a vitality amongst that richness and slosh. Liquid Xmas pudding. Lots on here. Stains the lips with caramel-like stickiness. Quite a thing, in a style."
