A clear follow-on from last year’s Searching For Meaning. Rather than employing the process of carbonic maceration used last time round, this was conditioned on whole, organic cherries in a port barrel, giving it a smoother, more rounded fruit character alongside fascinating nuance drawn from the oak. In a more modern twist, we used tonka beans to add brightness and accentuate the almond-like flavours of the cherry stones. It pops with fresh cherry and cherryade, intertwined with funky, farmhouse notes and followed by a soft marzipan character. Firm sourness is balanced by a prominent minerality and dry finish packed with blackcurrant-esque tannins.
