ELEVAGE: Grapes were crushed into a bins with fifty per cent stem inclusion and let to ferment with once daily punchdowns. After thirteen days the grapes were pressed and settled juice was moved to old French oak barrels to complete fermentation, including full malolactic, which finished in July of 2024. In mid-September the wine was racked off its lees and bottled without fining or filtration.

VINEYARD: Acidalia is the name of the area where our farm is located. The town is long gone as is the acid factory that supported it over a century ago. This vintage of Acidalia is dominated by merlot with cabernets franc and sauvignon adding bramble fruit flavors.
