Alcohol: 12.5% Bottle size: 75cl Average age of grapes: 75% Maresh Vineyard: 6 and 7 October 2019: some of the Long Rows (1970), some of Old Block (1970), Block 8 (1978), some of the Star of Bethlehem Block (1988), Block 11, and Block 7 (1991). 25% Weber Vineyard: 26 September 2019: 1983 self-rooted Pommard A barrel selection from wines produced from several blocks of self-rooted old vines at Maresh Vineyard (100% Maresh Vineyard). Whole Cluster: about 30% The Mirabai 2019 is a light-to-medium, youthful blue-red with brilliant transparency. Like all of my other 2019 bottlings, it is certainly lighter in colour and more nuanced than my 2018. True to the Dundee Hills, this Mirabai begins with a beautiful, fresh strawberry nose with subtle spices and tastes of the same carried by the lightest drape of silk. To me, this luminous Mirabai is both heart-warming and uplifting.
