Turley Wine Cellars Turley Bechthold Vineyard Cinsault 2023 750ml

The 2023 Cinsault Bechthold Vineyard hails from the oldest Cinsault vines in the world, planted in 1886 on their own roots and dry-farmed organically. It was fermented 100% whole cluster and aged in neutral French oak for six months. Pale ruby in color, the nose begins on a shy note before developing pure, vibrant aromas of raspberry, strawberry and blood orange that are lifted by tinges of autumn leaves and black tea. The light-bodied, elegant palate is bright and fruit-driven, lined with a gentle astringency that transitions to a pleasing finish that combines earth, spice and berry fruit flavors that swell and gain intensity with further aeration.
