A single-varietal Petit Verdot. It's a plush, full-bodied and inky wine with violet and green herb aromas and a dense, textured palate of fennel and dark berries. Note from the winemaker: "The grapes were picked at optimal ripeness and cooled overnight to 4 degrees celsius. The next morning the grapes were destemmed to open top fermenters. The juice underwent spontaneous fermentation and stayed on the skins for as long as possible. Pressed into older French oak small barrels, 18 months in barrel, blended and bottled."
