Amazing wild strawberry & currents in the palette, really refreshing with the hot summer weather here 🙂
Edit; a little longer review
To start off I’m a little biased around the wines of Brendan Tracey since they are what really got me into natural wines. Having experience with his wines I was not doubting him to do a bad job with this notoriously terroir sensitive grape. And oh boy he didn’t. As a lover of Beaujolais you couldn’t make me more happy. The whole cluster carbonic maceration ate up most of the tannins, leaving us the drinker with straight juicy light red wine. That doesn’t make the wine incomplete however; the 40-60 year old vines produce very intense and complex grapes. After a 30 day maceration the wine is transferred to old oak barrels to ripen sur lie, bringing notes of hay to the plums, wild strawberries and current aromas in the wine. Living in the Netherlands and being able to pick this up for just under €20 ($24) it has to be one of the best value wines I’ve ever had, and worthy to make my first reddit post about. Cheers!
