The 2021 Mimetic is fragrant and approachable with notes of black plum, blueberry and thyme with a hint of menthol. The palate is vibrant and juicy, with lively acidity underpinning the opulent fruit profile and ripe tannins.
The grapes underwent cold maceration for three days, in order to gently extract colour and tannins. Fermentation took place in concrete tanks for two weeks using indigenous yeasts. The wine then underwent full malolactic fermentation and spent six months ageing on fine lees in concrete tanks, with periodic bâtonnage to enhance the wine’s supple mouthfeel.
