NV Forlorn Hope Suspiro Del Moro Lodi Alvarelhao

 Alvarelhao: exotically aromatic red; native to north-western Iberia and of late taken root in Alta Mesa. The Moor continues to weave his spell, guiding us through alternate histories and elliptical futures. Alvarelhao? There is no other. Fermented with 100% stem inclusion in open top fermenters and pressed off the skins and stems after 20 days. Elevage in stainless steel; bottled unfined and unfiltered.

Notes of fresh violets, blueberries, jasmine, red currants and dried ginger
