This pairs varietal notes of red fruit, earth and warm spices with the gentle imprint of graphite from the schist. Dark ruby in colour, but really light and fun.

About the producer: Originally from Brittany, Adrien de Mello travelled the world following a love of wine before settling in Anjou in 2015. He now farms four hectares of vineyards planted over schist in and around the village of Saint Aubin de Luigné. The vines have been farmed organically for some time, but since settling here Adrien has taken things to the next level and in just a few years has gained both organic and biodynamic certification.
