Viticulture and production
We don't add sulfites or other chemicals to the wine (nor acidity, color, or aroma regulators). Unfiltered and unfined: we don't use any chemical or natural compounds, so it's suitable for vegans. Aged for six days with the skins.

Tasting and pairing
Intense, warm, and complex. Pronounced tannins, but with a smooth and fresh finish.

Additional information
Strict dryland farming and traditional bush pruning. We maintain the ground cover to control erosion and increase biodiversity. We harvest by hand first thing in the morning, transporting the grapes directly to our micro-winery in 15 kg crates for immediate processing. Spontaneous fermentation using native yeasts takes place in 300-500 liter tanks for 15-30 days. Residual sugar (g/l): <2. As the wine is not artificially stabilized, direct sunlight and sudden temperature changes should be avoided. Bottling: Manual and unfiltered. The cork is natural and a single piece, with minimal treatment. We use lighter Eco-line bottles to minimize greenhouse gas emissions.
An exceptional vintage in terms of both production and quality. The year featured abundant rainfall in March and a dry September. The grapes were very healthy, harvested at their phenolic ripeness, with good acidity and freshness.
