- TASTING NOTE: "Never been a big fan of Primitivo, or Zinfandel for that matter, but this wine shows the grape in a different light. Still the typical deep purple you'd expect in the glass, it looks like it's going to be full on but there is so much vitality to this wine. Ripe dark berries, sweet balsamic and earthy undertones are wrapped in fine tannin. The a palate is super supple with a finish that is long and fresh, with mineral etched acidity providing the necessary backbone to all that fruit. A lovely winter drop." David Gillman, HWS
- ABOUT THE WINE: Produced from a selection of the best pots of the estate. Vinified 100% in stainless steel. Short, 2-3 day maceration. Unfiltered.
