‘Ocarina’

Carignan, Syrah & Grenache, Cotes Catalans, France

A perfectly light and crunchy bright-PINK red from earth-angel (seriously, xmas tree tops lookout!) & multi-talented winemaker Saskia van der Horst. Beginning as a sommelier, she swiftly moved into working with natural & biodynamic producers (including revered winemaker Alain Castex), before starting her own beloved 4.5 hectare project in 2013. Her penchant for old vine plots aids in accenting and demonstrating her thoughtfulness & skill. Bright, floral and salty with intergalactic-violet coloured fruits and a building complexity from the lightness of its lasting acidity, merging to an E.T.-phone-home-esque touch of tannins.
