PALATE

The palate is savoury and textu framed with balanced natural acidity and tannins, filled with raspberries, violets and spice.

VINIFICATION
The fruit was naturally fermented in a small open top fermenter, plunged by hand twice a day, for 8 days to extract the right amount of flavour and colour. The wine was placed in a combination of old French and Hungarian oak for a period of 9 months.

RANGE NOTES
Maturana Tinta is a near-extinct red wine grape of Spain's most famous wine region, Rioja. It is a grapegrowers heartache, being soft skinned and a late-ripening variety, which distinguishes it immediately from Rioja's favourite Tempranillo.
