This wine is bold and dark with purple hues. The aromas are fruit forward and lifted, driven by ripe characters of blue berry, liquorice and cinnamon. The palate is fresh and medium bodied with smooth and soft fruit characters, like Christmas pudding with extra spice. The beautiful, sweet spice character of this wine comes from our old Vosges chardonnay barrels, which are deconstructed, shaved and toasted by a local cooper, then submerged into the tank of wine. Fine tannins from the oak and berries provide structure. The wine was left throughout winter without the use of sulphur dioxide then bottled in spring without fining or filtration. Vegan friendly. Preservative free. Can be served chilled.
