Spicy and savoury on the front palate yet vibrant and fruit forward on the mid, this wine has an incredible depth of flavour that can only be described as rich and decadent. Silky tannins that cant be missed hold up the wine well, drink now or lay it down - either way it works well!

The ultimate lasagne of Grenache was created in 2 x 1000L stainless tanks by hand destemming a layer of whole berries, adding whole bunches and topping it off with more hand destemmed berries. Once the ‘lasagne’ of grapes was prepared we sealed the tanks under a generous spray of dry ice and patiently waited for fermentation to kick off. After a few days we began to saignee the juice daily from one tank to the other before resealing under more dry ice. After a few weeks we foot stomped the whole bunches and pressed to stainless before racking into seasoned French hogs heads for elevage. Bottled in November with only 1300 bottles produced.
