From a mix of parcels on heavy, deep loam, vine age on average 20 years. 50% whole cluster, 50% destemmed. 7 days’ ferment on the skins, pressed off into stainless steel tank. 20ppm SO2 added in January. Unfined, unfiltered. Loire Valley heads, rejoice at this Central European entry into the ‘new best friend in the peppery light red’ category
