Stylish, refreshing, harmonious
Located in Summerland, Lunessence (where Luna=Moon + Essence) is a biodynamic estate. There are no pesticides or herbicides used in their vineyards with a focus on natural wines; they ideally use only native yeast, no, or minimal fining (only bentonite and time), and very light or no filtration at all.
Made from 96% Gamay and 4% Pinot Noir that was whole cluster pressed with one hour of skin contact and fermented in 80% neutral French oak, and aged five months on lees.
Expect a lovely rose gold shade with notes of watermelon rind and crab apples, a hint of orange zest, cranberries and cedar. A pristine palate is balanced and refreshing with tangy red fruit and citrus flavours along with peachy undertones. A stylish wine with great bones.
