Bobal and Marselan grow on limestone and are vinified in stainless steel. The cool-year red is medium-bodied and sleek, with freshness carried through the profile. Fermentation is spontaneous; the wine is bottled without fining, filtration or added sulphur. Ripe fruit, compote, liquorice, violet, cherry and cereal notes accompany a soft, balanced and rounded texture. Alcohol is 13.5 percent.

Spanish Rosé
$56.99
Orange peel, rhubarb, strawberry and a Campari-like note appear in a vibrant, textured rosé with grip and a savoury finish. Bobal and Tempranillo grow on rocky soils containing fossilized coral and oyster shells. Whole bunches are pressed gently and ferment spontaneously with native yeasts. Ageing lasts ten months on fine lees in used oak, glass demijohns and stainless steel. The wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered.
