Sourced from a small portion of the Bloody Hill vineyard, Timo uses 100% whole bunch fermentation for his characteristic vivid, stalky aromatics. Concentrated, rich and flavourful, with stunning texture and intensity perfectly balanced out by bright freshness on the long finish.
A mineral-driven nose, with black fruits and notes of star anise and black pepper. Stains the palate with intense, spice-accented blackberry and bitter cherry flavours, developing sweetness as it opens up. Silky tannins give shape and grip to the long, focused, mineral-accented finish.
What the critics say:
"Subtle aromas of blackberry, gun metal, cloves and white pepper follow through to a medium body with round, creamy tannins that are polished and beautiful. Firm and lively with a flavorful finish. Drink or hold."
"Opaque ruby. Expansive, spice-tinged aromas of cherry and dark berry preserve are complicated by suggestions of exotic spices, violet and vanilla. Deeply concentrated yet lively black and blue fruit, spicecake and floral pastille flavors take on a smoky flourish with aeration. The floral note repeats strongly on the finely etched finish, which features rounded tannins and impressively persistent dark berry character."
