Wine Description

This organic red wine is noted for its rich and deep bright red colour. The sensory profile features a complex nose dominated by sweet wild fruit aromas, including cherries and raspberries, enhanced by subtle toasty hints and earthy undertones. On the medium-bodied palate, it offers a silky texture and a well-balanced structure with soft tannins and bright red fruit flavours. The finish is smooth, fresh, and persistent, often revealing gentle notes of spice.

• Varietal Composition: 100% Pinot Noir.

• ABV: Typically 13.5% to 14%.

• Organic Status: Certified organic by ECOCERT, reflecting a non-interventionist approach that avoids artificial fertilisers.

• Stylistic Notes: Approximately 70% of the wine is aged in barrels and 30% in stainless steel for eight months to achieve a balance of complexity and varietal purity.
