COLOUR
Showcases vibrant shades of purple and pink
 
NOSE 
Very bright, fresh, red fruit flavours, such as cherry, strawberry, and raspberry.
 
PALATE 
This juicy, light-bodied red is best served chilled, at about 13°C. The fruity notes burst onto your palate, leaving it buzzing and refreshed.
 
WINEMAKING 
Co-fermented for seven days in an open stainless fermenter. These small parcels are usually blended away until we tasted the old and rare French variety Counoise with the historical Spanish variety of Carignan from a single vineyard. We picked these two varieties together as a field blend and cofermented them in an open fermenter. Vibrant, fresh, light in style, and screaming for friends and food, this wine is an example of what can be done when you push the boundaries.
 
VINTAGE REPORT
The 2024 vintage conditions were drier than the previous two years with below average spring rainfall and earlier budburst. Vintage kicked off in mid February with wines showing intensity and depth of flavour. Further aging will see wines of longevity and persistence of flavour.
