Fragrant and lifted, showing wild strawberry and floral notes with hints of savoury earthiness. The palate is bright and silky, with flavours of plum and rhubarb, fine acidity and gentle spice, finishing long and refined.

Cellaring 5-8 Years

Made from a rare Pinot Noir clone grown in very small quantities. The fruit is handpicked and naturally fermented in small batches, with a small portion of whole bunches for added texture. The wine is aged for 8 months in French oak barrels (a small portion new) to enhance complexity while keeping the wine fresh and expressive.

Low-yielding vineyard conditions (5 t/ha) produced concentrated yet delicate fruit. The vintage allowed steady ripening, preserving natural acidity and aromatic lift, resulting in a finely balanced and expressive wine.
