Grape: GrenacheVintage: 2019Type: Red This red wine comes from Armada Vineyard in the Rocks District, showcasing an expression of grenache. Winemaker Christophe Baron manages the p lot using biodynamic principles, allowing vines to struggle through deep beds of basalt river cobbles. The hand-harvested fruit ferments using vineyard-born wild yeasts, prioritizing site transparency. Aged for over a year in neutral French oak barrels, it settles naturally into an authentic rock-driven identity. It pours a light ruby-garnet color, releasing complex aromas of ripe cherry, red currant, and fresh violet petals over a background of forest floor. On the palate, the medium-bodied frame balances a fleshy mouthfeel with fine-grained, integrated tannins. Savory flavors of cranberry and wild plum fold into notes of black tea, tobacco, and wet stone. A clean thread of alpine acidity runs through the center, keeping the profile fresh. It finishes bone-dry, leaving a lingering mineral impression. Show more
