Funkyness: Mild

Tasting Notes: Fresh, light and lean. Notes of zesty citrus brighten up the minerality brought by the silty soil where this Chenin grows. Almost astringent, mega dry, and pleasantly austere acidity. A dazzling color, liveliness, fruit, a beautiful balance and bite, enough to be enjoyed right away.

Funkyness: Mild

Tasting Notes: Hand-harvested Grolleau Gris grapes are direct-pressed into a 3000 liter oak vat. After the fermentation, the wine is placed in fiberglass tanks, where it undergoes malolactic fermentation. No filtration, no stabilization, just pure fermented grape juice. A light golden color with slight green hues in the glass. In the nose, lightly bruised apples, white flowers and toasted hazelnuts. On the palate it is medium-bodied, with more apple aromas. It’s fresh, fun and slightly funky, with a long finish.

Tasting Notes: Red-violet in colour, with aromas of blueberry, black cherry, chocolate, cinnamon bark, violet and forest floor. Rich blueberry, black cherry, bramble and the slightest trace of fizz are flanked by firm tannins and fresh acidity. A bitter streak accents dark chocolate, elderflower, black currant and blueberry on the velvety finish. Opulent and lush.

Tasting Notes: Ruby-red with a purple hem and transparent, already the color is inviting. Rose petal notes emerge from the glass, mixed with sour cherries, blackberries and a surprisingly pleasant hint of barnyard. The palate delivers on the delicate freshness the nose promises, again with a touch of funk that only serves to entice the drinker to go back and back again until the bottle is gone.
