Practicing organic with emphasis on biodiversity. Wildflowers and assorted vegetation such as clover and grains are sowed between vine rows and then roller crimped to decompose and add nutrients back to the soil. The grapes are harvested manually.
Whole cluster fermentation lasting 2 weeks with manual punching down (in the morning) and pumping over (in the evening). Aged 50% in barrels and 50% in vats for 6 months in 400L and 600L oak barrels from several French cooperages of. The barrels are 4 to 6 years old.
A floral, fruity and smoky nose with notes of wild strawberries. This is a fresh and lively Syrah with a ton of pairing versatility. The label is a nod to their work sowing vegetation between vine rows to increase biodivsity and build soil organic matter.
