About Us
My wines reflect my country’s unique diversity of vineyard sites in their most natural light. Utmost emphasis on viticulture and sustainable farming methods ensuring exceptional fruit with an elegant style of fruit purity, authentic expression and age ability. Small barrel lot production, wild yeast fermentation and minimal intervention allow my wines to express specific characteristics and provide a quality framework.

A limited production allows me a hands on approach and attention to detail from the vineyard to winery.

Tasting Note
Intense aromas of red and dark berry fruit with dark chocolate, cedar and earthy notes concentrated on the palate,
silky well- integrated tannins, layered rich flavours that linger effortlessly on the finish.
