Raudonasis sausas
This is the first estate bottling from this acclaimed (pun intended) vineyard since new owner Antony Beck and his team took over. The vineyard is being managed organically with some biodynamic practices. Wild yeasts are used for fermentation, which brings some unusual floral and textural components. The wine is lightly ripened, with cranberry, raspberry and mineral highlights. It was aged for about a year in one-third new oak.
Our winemaking is a natural continuation of our farming, as they are intrinsically linked. Just as we’ve shepherded vines throughout seasons, our task remains one of quiet observation, of understanding what is in front of us. We do not use our hands to mold the raw material to our liking, but rather to help preserve its natural shape. When those hands become stained, crevassed and cut, it is not because we’ve conceived a wine to our image, but because we’ve carefully watched over a process well beyond our influence, one guided by nature.
