Description

Complex rose wine. So much on. Righteous. Sour cherry, cranberry, pomegranate juice, some fino sherry whiffs and licks, briny minerality and a bit of green almond and nougat here. Palate and perfume matching up. Wonderful texture that goes crisp and creamy, gently on the latter, at once. Huge extension of flavour too. Shades of Clos Cibonne here. Really. Unreal drinking. 94 points - Mike Bennie, The WineFront

A different take on the rose. Nebbiolo juice fermented and matured in our flor infected barrels. The flor veil protects the wine over the year it spends in barrel. Flor yeast feed on the various alcohols in wine and in return protect the surface for other ne’er do wells that would otherwise spoil the wine.

An added benefit is this fortifies the wine to oxidation and we don’t have to add any preservative. Consider it a light red filled with beautiful red fruits and flowers with an intriguing complex savoury salty seasoning.
