to finish the secondary fermentation in bottle

Not content to just be the prototypical zesty and buoyant red wine

I love the purity of fruit and intact expression that one can achieve by maturing the wine in contact with this special clay

Its minerality is awe-inspiring: simultaneously smoky and crystalline
