This Monastrell is handpicked from selected plots of 30-year-old bush vines between 600 – 700 meters in Altitude. The vineyards are all dry farmed to reduce water usage. Fermentation is spontaneous from the grapes natural yeasts and the wine does not see any addition of sulphites giving pure varietal character. This is a fresh, fruity and flavoursome wine. The nose is full aromas of like red berries, spices, and hints of balsamic. The palate is smooth with elegant tannic structure and a supple finish

With some bottle ageing, this 2018 packs a punch. Nerello Mascalese is Sicily’s star variety and usually grown around the foot of Mount Etna. These mineral-rich volcanic soils help the vines produce grapes that are rich in both complex minerals and a fine acidity. This exciting red has smoky minerality with rich red cherry fruit and a nimble body that dances along the palate.
