Both cultivars are fermented whole bunch, with some whole berry fruit, there is no crush, just a daily pump over during the natural fermentation. We want to express place over cultivar so this slow, gentle extraction gives wines truer of origin than winery. The components are racked to French and Austrian oak, new and old, for 10 months before the blend is decided. This blend is then allowed to marry for 6 weeks prior to coarse filtration and bottling on the farm. 

With notes of freshly cracked black pepper, allspice and raspberry, the varietal notes of each cultivar blend seamlessly in this exotic, aromatic Coastal Region compote

Food match - Grilled meats, especially lamb and spiced meat dishes.
