2024 comrade nero d’avola

From our home farm block of Nero d’Avola in Eldorado. We split the fruit into 5 micro ferments, which included:

• ‍15% Whole bunch

• 100% Whole bunch carbonic maceration

• Destemmed and crushed

• Whole berry in Italian Nico Velo concrete tulip 10%

• Wholebunch with remainder wholeberry in French Oak Foudre

Our Comrade Nero d’Avola is really where we turn the dial up in terms of work in the winery. We deploy a diverse range of winemaking techniques across a large number of small ferments so that when it comes time for the final blend, we have a number of complex elements to layer together. All ferments were lightly hand plunged daily and they all spent between 10 and 30 days on skins before being gently basket pressed directly into oak. Maturation occurred over 12 months on full lees in seasoned French Oak Foudre, Puncheons, Barriques & Italian Concrete Tulipe.

 Unfined, filtered gently, vegan friendly, and hand bottled on site December 2024.
