Unique wines

Unique, like every vintage

Years change, and so do wines!

A wine from an estate is too often treated like a brand/perfume, expected to be similar to previous years
so that the consumer knows what they're getting... Looking for a terroir or an identity (which doesn't necessarily exist).

The vintages are so different from each other that it is very difficult to do this without using products/additives and manipulating the grape juice or wine in order to modify its appearance, taste, tannins, aromas, etc...
all this to make the wines fit into a framework/PDO/market...

I find it a shame; I prefer to accept the vintage as it is and adapt the wine styles we can produce accordingly.
For me, that's much more logical and natural.

The only downside, of course: you have to accept making many different batches and step out of your comfort zone!

We have produced 14 different and unique wines in the space of 4 years.

Some simplified examples are shown below.
