Pretty and almost skeletal, this is a joyous and dancy number. The fruit glides through unobstructed. Silk sheet material. Bring it!
Fermented in 1800L amphorae, the organically and biodynamically farmed Clarendon vineyard is perched 225 metres above and was planted in 1962. 72% sat on skins for 156 days for those that love extra detail.
Red and blue fruit highlights, super fine tannins, long and moreish - I just want more. Hints of burnt orange rise up late but the red fruits really gain some momentum with time in the glass. It's a wine that moves on the balls of its feet and maneuvers every crevice with grace. A big yes, yes and yes from me.
