Medium-bodied, sultry and silken, yet finely textural, this is alive with thorny wild blackberry, sapid black plums, crunchy black cherry running along a slender, softer palate (seemingly characteristic of their Home Farm site). Tannins are fine and well integrated, finishing with a lick of balsamic.
100% destemmed grapes were native fermented and aged in one old foudre and a mix of demi-muids and barrels, racking-free, for 19 months. It was bottled unfined & unfiltered.
Home Farm Vineyard is composed of complex glacial soils, and employs organic methods; no synthetic pesticides, fertilizers or herbicides in the vineyard.
