About the wine: Wine is not fashion avenue, it is part of the life of a winemaker and at the same time part of culture. However you work, you need to know your work and materials first. You need to know how the material is made, what it is from and how it will impact your product. Otherwise you cannot get any good out of it. It is like cooking: you can not cook a good dish without knowing the ingredients first and how to use them. We do not put wine inside the wood barrel to get it a wooden taste but to enrich wine with healthy tannins that extend the lifespan of wine. We must be aware that tannins in the wood increase for some time, after that at a certain point they start to fall. The key is determining when to remove the wine from the barrel. It depends on the winemaker's knowledge and feelings to decide when this is.
A multi-vintage (2011 & 2012) Bordeaux inspired red blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc. Deeply rustic and earthy, with black olives, figs, black plums, and mulchy tannins. A fascinating curveball for the French wine lover!

What is natural wine?
Natural wine is wine made with minimal intervention from the winemaker, using organically or biodynamically grown grapes and without the addition of chemicals or additives such as sulfites. The result is a wine that is unique, expressive, and often has a more complex and nuanced flavor profile than conventional wines. Natural wine is also often associated with sustainable and ethical farming practices, making it a popular choice for those interested in environmentally friendly and socially responsible products.
