Product information "Savage Are We There Yet 2023"
The Savage Are we there yet ensnares the nose with a delightfully dark and deep bouquet of black cherry, blueberry and black currant interwoven with hints of nori seaweed, salty licorice, cured meat and a minerality reminiscent of graphite. Just as with many 2021 reds, there is fabulous depth of fruit, intensity and freshness, coupled with a seamlessly harmonious and well-structured palate. Creamy tannins are beautifully balanced by tangy juicy acidity, slowly melting into the dark fruit opulence of this masterful top cuvée.

The grapes were fermented spontaneously on the whole bunch, leaving 10 he fruit on the whole bunch. "Spontaneous" in this context means that no commercial yeasts were added to the wine and only the yeast naturally occurring on the fruit and in the environment set the fermentation in motion. Once fermentation was complete, it went into the traditional basket press and the wine obtained in this process into old oak barrels with a capacity of 500 liters per barrel, where the wine was allowed to mature for 10 months before being blended and bottled.
