About the wine
Delicious field blend of old world varieties
- This is a field blend which means the grapevines are all mixed up and the blend is determined in the field. That gives you an incredibly well integrated blend, balanced and bold.
- Jim wanted to use Angel funding to get amazing fruit from a single vineyard planted 2,000 feet above sea level. Field blends from unheralded regions like the Fair Play district are notoriously hard to sell, especially when the grapes include ancient European varieties like Touriga Nacional, Tinta Cao, and Souzao. But...
- Jim didn't have to worry about marketing and sales - he got to work with an amazing vineyard and make a stellar, balanced wine. And as long as it tastes great, we don't care how hard it is to pronounce.
