fruit blossoms

In the nose scent of wild berries

polished and regal shape as tannins frame up a core of ripe black fruit

This unusual white blend is made from organically farmed grapes, fermented in neutral vessels to give a bright wine with a refreshing amount of acidity and some food friendly texture.
