“The Treinspoor 2023 is a pure Tinta Barocca planted on sandstone and granite/quartz. Black fruit and notes of Earl Grey unfold on the nose, which is perhaps somewhat reminiscent of Nebbiolo and very expressive. Lively and bright, the palate is medium-bodied with slightly chalky tannins. It bears some resemblance to Barolo toward the gripping finish, leaving hints of blue fruit in the aftertaste. Remarkable and full of character. 2025–2040” (Vinous 2024)

About the wine:
Intense aromas of violets and dried flowers blend with blue and black fruits, tea leaves, bark, and nutmeg. It is medium-bodied, very fresh and lively, with tight, firm tannins that are almost imperceptible and coat the entire palate. Well-structured. Best enjoyed starting in 2026.
