The grapes were de-stemmed and cold soaked for four days to extract their beautiful burgundy color, followed by two weeks of maceration before fermentation. This approach yields softer tannins and layered flavors. The wine opens with expressive aromas of ripe cherry, raspberry, and wild strawberry, accented by hints of rose petal and subtle baking spice. On the palate, vibrant red berry flavors are layered with notes of cranberry and pomegranate, framed by soft tannins and bright acidity. A touch of vanilla adds depth, while a silky texture carries through to the elegant finish.

In 2024, vineyards experienced a growing season defined by plentiful winter and spring rains that replenished soil moisture, followed by a hot, dry summer with sustained, above-average temperatures. These conditions accelerated ripening and increased vine stress, resulting in smaller berries and lighter yields. While yields were down, the concentrated fruit delivered intense color, rich flavors, and firm tannin structure, with careful canopy management, irrigation, and well-timed harvests proving essential for maintaining balance and preserving natural acidity.

Pairs well with beer-battered shrimp or beef fillets with crispy onions.
