100% Ploussard (Poulsard). Grown in the deep red marls facing south-west at 300m above sea level. Hand-harvested, semi-carbonic maceration (80% whole bunch, 20% destemmed) of about 10 days. Aged in stainless steel for 10 months.

Super pale. This starts with the classic complexing reduction of Ploussard; not eggy or farty, just right adding a polished metal edge to the red fruit. Wild strawberries with delicate fragrant spice and dried oregano/thyme. Super pure the palate shows white strawberry and wild red berries, pink rose and rosehip, coastal saltbush berries. Savoury minerality is emphasised by the burnished reduction. Tannins are virtually non-existent adding just enough talcy dryness to the finish. 11% ABV. Lives in the ether.   – Tim Stock, Importer
