Hiyu Crataegus 'Cuvee Viticole'

Beautiful floral nose, tart red fruit, slightly petillant, earthy and wild

Via Viticole “ With the cuvee in question, further homage is paid to fellow mountainous wine regions, in a euro-Alpine mash up of interplanted grapes at Hiyu. I’ll name a few for posterity – Lagrein, Syrah, Mondeuse, Teroldego, Roussanne, Viognier. But as the list devolves into the arcane (Gros Beclan anyone?), conversations about grape variety seem pointless. Which was of course Nate’s point when he and China planted them. The madness of Hiyu is not without its method…”

Cranberry, blackberry, slight prickle of CO2. Blind I might guess Austrian Blaufrankisch
