Aged 16 months in 50% new French oak sur lie, the vineyard is farmed organically and is CCOF certified, with regenerative no-till philosophy. Rose petals melt across the palate and black raspberry and wild cherry ignite an earthy core. Perfumed with jasmine and exotic spiced scrub.
Regeneratively farmed on a rocky hillside, the stainless steel fermented rosé tastes of orange marmalade, honeyed apples, and a dapple of stony minerality. Graceful on the palate.
Candied pineapple and a stony minerality take hold in the most pleasant way. Tart and taut, its steely nature allows fresh floral notes and a sea breeze to shine through.
Energetic and earth-laden, with suede tannins that carry weight. The mouth is lathered with mulberry, sweet earth, spearmint, graphite, and cherrywood-cedar. Its broad shoulders are balanced on a balanced, fresh acidity, with a refined finish of violets and black plum compote.
In its youthful iteration, this energetic red ignites the senses with a mineral base and top notes of blackberry, plum skin, and espresso. With an upright structure, notes of violets and Hoisin sauce combine for a recipe of elegant complexity.
Suede tannins are laced with espresso, grilled beef, red pepper, and dark chocolate cherries. Well- structured but undeniably approachable. A dusty mid-palate adds an earthy tone, with violets and raspberry. A blend of 37% Cab Franc, 32% Syrah, 22% Malbec, and 9% Cabernet Sauvignon aged in new and used French oak for 15 months.
A velour-textured flow of black licorice and dried lavender is testimony to the make-up of this beautifully crafted blend of 53% Touriga Nacional, 40% Touriga Franca, with some Tinta Barroca and Tinta Roriz. Muscled with luxuriously appointed with a heady, plum liqueur-like texture. Sinewy and chewy, capturing a hint of burnt tangerine zest and walnut cedar that lingers on teeth and tongue.
Toeing the line separating rich from heavy, this satisfying Chardonnay features flavors of baked apples and orchard fruits accented with suggestions of caramel and vanilla. Its youth as a 2023 release works to its advantage for now, as the freshness of its fruit offsets the wood notes and keeps the aftertastes in balance.
