The Lady of Abundance 2021 is an intricate, multi-varietal blend. It features dominant notes of blackcurrant, plum, red cherry, and pomegranate. Subtle hints of dark chocolate and baking spice lift the nose. The diverse vineyard soils contribute to its layered complexity. Grapes were hand-harvested from various blocks. Fermentation occurred in stainless steel with pump-overs.
The wine matured for 12 months in French oak barrels. Only 10% new oak was used to preserve the fruit purity. Polished, well-rounded tannins provide structure and a refined mouthfeel. The final blend offers both immediate drinking pleasure and cellaring potential for three to five years.
