The wine team blends the free run and pressed wine, and patiently waits a few weeks to rack those wines into their barrels at 20% new oak from Tonnellerie Plantagnêt Nuance toast for ten months of aging.

Seamless smooth & mouthfilling packed with ripe fruit flavors & deftly accented with oak notes like vanilla hazelnut & toast. It's rich in texture yet relatively light in body...
Great balance between red & black fruit notes that saturate the palate with black tea, autumnal leaves, wood spice, dried citrus peel, & fennel. It is bright & fresh as well as deep & broad. Medium bodied combining silkiness with a nice grip of tannin.
Medley of key lime lemon zest & yuzu. Beyond the citrus nose with green banana honeydew & cardamom. Aromatic expression carries through on the palate where it finds balance with flaky pie crust & creamy richness. Layered with oak spice & balanced acidity.

This has aromas of cream, apricots, white peaches and lemon curd. Medium- to full-bodied with excellent density and focus. Bright acidity, too. Creamy finish.
