Restless River Wanderlust Red Field Blend 2020 is produced from a blend of Cinsault, Malbec, Barbera, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Tinta Barroca, Ruby Cabernet and Roussanne grape varietals. The idea behind this release of Wanderlust was to recreate the traditional field blend, where many different cultivars were planted in one small vineyard and harvested together. Seven red cultivars and one white were harvested on the same day and then co-fermented in an open-top oak vat. After a natural ferment the skins were pressed in our old basket press. The wine was then matured in older French barrels for 18 months and kept in bottle for a further 18 months before release. 3,308 bottles were produced. Bottled at 13.5%. (Bottle size 750ml)

Nose: Red and blue fruit, spicy with a graphite edge.

Palate: On entry, fresh mulberries and raspberries. Elegant medium body with wonderful fruit purity and smooth texture.

Finish: Fine and chalky tannins. Delicate and balanced with a persistent finish with a subtle intriguing salinity.
