allowing those provocative mineral nuances to shine through

black cherry and earth

and I particularly like the purity of expression

(worked entirely by hand as the vineyard has a 40% south-facing slope which ensures that it receives plenty of sun)

this is lovely stuff

There is a lovely sense of underlying tension to the lightly stony and chalky textured flavors that terminate in a linear, saline and chiseled finish. This lovely effort is like rolling small stones around in the mouth and a wine that should age gracefully over the mid term.
