Winemaker Notes

100% Syrah, a portion of which is partially de-stemmed, while some are left whole and still others are lightly foot pressed. Fermentation occurs spontaneously in small concrete vats and without the use of pumps, sulfur or temperature control. The wine is then allowed to clarify naturally and is moved to various vessels for aging (mostly concrete and Clayver ceramic orbs, but a small portion does go into large oak casks).

Professional Ratings

94 James Suckling

A tight and focused syrah with blackberries, blueberries, bark, spices, tar and grilled meat on both the nose and palate. It’s medium- to full-bodied with juicy fruit and a slightly chewy finish. Needs time to soften. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification.
