Borto 2018

A new micro cuvée, only 286 bottles made.

In the winemakers’ ownwords: “Global warming is no joke, and the vines impressively bear witness to this change. Borto – does the name right a bell? – is an aperitif and/or dessert wine. Bottled by gravity with a nozzle filler. Tremendously gastronomical and ready to provide bewildering food and wine pairings, Borto is crisp despite its alcohol, complex, spicy, disconcerting. Because of its incredible “stability”, it does not fear three weeks of opening if kept as it should. When the juice “decides”, wine always reminds us that it is generous and alive. And unique.”

Grape: Merlot

Vineyard: Cotes de Castillon, biodynamic farming

Making of: the grapes are hand-picked and hand-destemmed. Fermented spontaneously. Bottled by hand directly from the barrel, unfined, unfiltered, unsulfured.
