A dark, brooding, fruit forward expression of this fascinating vineyard site, aged one year in stainless steel and a year in bottle, unencumbered by oak. Jumping from the glass you find stewed plum, the savoury licorice note of Dutch dropjes, with a savoury hint of barley and fresh picked button mushrooms. The palate follows on with deep rich notes of blueberry, plum, coffee, green peppercorn, and more pepper still spreading on the finish, calling for red meat like the Neanderthals that lived in the nearby caves not so long ago.
