WINE OVERVIEW
An ‘earth-friendly’ biodynamic blend of Malbec and Syrah made with certified organic grapes.
TASTING NOTES
This is Malbec and Syrah in their most natural expression of untouched grapes shining through and capturing the true essence of the biodynamic vineyard where they were picked. It has a beautiful pomegranate color and aroma of fresh red cherries with light French oak undertones. The palate is fresh and lively with black raspberry and spiced mocha notes.
