2022 Moonlight Vineyard Blend

Velvety plum and blackberry compote aromas with red strawberry coming through on the palate. Wilting sage notes and gravel make the wine feel inviting and rich. The palate is guided by a juicy acidity, a burst of cherry and an earthy finish. Light, sandy tannins and a medium body.

The Cinsaut fermented in large oak fermentor while the Mourvèdre fermented in stainless steel tank. Aged in 15% new oak barrels for 24 months before blending and bottling.

Pair with a classic hamburger and game bird such as quail.
