"Aromas of strawberries and rose petals at first. Hints of wet earth, too. Notes of incense and fresh spices follow. Full body, yet it has super fine and polished tannins with beautiful fruit and length. A triumph. Single-vineyard wine. Drinkable now but better in three or four years."

Product Description:

"Lunita shows a beautiful floral nose with predominant notes of rose petals, its tannins are very well integrated, soft and silky, a typical trait of old ungrafted vineyard wines. Its structure is present without being overpowering and it displays a long finish with cherry notes and a bit of earthyness.

Lunita’s grapes are completely de-stemmed and placed in small round cement vats. Because the local soils have a large component of clay, this wine is made by infusion and fermented on indigenous yeasts at temperatures that do not exceed 74 degrees Fahrenheit. It is fermented more by a process of infusion than one of extraction. The wine is then aged in its own lees in used French barrels and bottled without filtration." - Importer
