Terra Gratia Marciano Estates Red 2019

The name Terra Gratia meaning “land of gratitude” in Latin is a constant reminder of how special this property is and how grateful we are that these soils produce exceptional wines. The grapes for this wine are hand-picked at night to keep the fruit chilled, hand-sorted, fermented, barrel-aged and bottled all in accordance with the strictest Kosher standards. A resulting wine that is unfined and unfiltered, this 2019 vintage is one of the richest most complex Terra Gratia we have produced yet to date.

In the glass, the wine has a deep purple color, offering beautiful fruit- driven aromas of dark fruit, mocha, black tea, wet clay, underscored by nuances of umeboshi and pencil shavings. On the palate, the wine is rich with gentle tannins and a generously layered mid-palate that gives way to a long, velvety finish rife with refined tannins. You are left with flavors of blueberries, cocoa powder, and chamomile.

Very approachable upon release, one to two hours of decanting recommended. Cellaring this wine 3-5 years will be beneficial and can easily age 25+ years.
