At once rich and fleshy, but also deeply and firmly structured, this Hermitage has a ton of smoke, leather and animal aromas. With some aeration a balsamic note emerges. Dense, inky finish, but in a very positive way. Excellent balance and vitality that suggests it has long aging potential. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drinkable now, but best from 2025.
Entirely destemmed, the grapes ferment in concrete tanks. From one to two daily treadings ensure a good extraction. Temperature varies between 30 and 33°C.
18 months ageing, 85% of which takes place in oak barrels, giving the wine its notes of oak. The remaining 15% is aged in concrete tanks to preserve minerality and freshness.
