'This was one of Philippe’s first experiments macerating Savagnin in alternative vessels. The earliest we know of was the cuvee Macération Pelliculaire in 2015, which was a 2-week maceration in stainless steel and a wine we had many years ago. This 2016 wine was part of a larger experiment involving three different types of vessels – an egg made from engineered stone (this cuvée), a buried Georgian Qvevri, and an Italian Amphora. We have this and the 2020 vintage from the Qvevri in this release, and released the 2016 vintage from the Italian amphora cuvée recently.

This wine was macerated in the egg until the following April before pressing. We’re not sure when it was finally bottled but it has only just been released.

The wine is aromatic, rounded and spicy with a distinctive orange colour, much more so than the amber tones of the Georgian wine. ABV 11.8%. Certified organic'.

Only 24 bottles brought into Australia.
