Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Our newest Unicorn release greets you with an intoxicating aroma of green papaya flesh, mango skin, white honeysuckle blossom, fine herbs and lime zest. Complex and energetic, there is a beautiful tension on the palate between the incredible freshness and detailed structure, the result of aging this racy varietal in a hand-selected new French oak barrel specific to the Entre-Deux-Mers region of Bordeaux. A strong vein of minerality persists all the way to the long and luxurious finish.
Winemaker Notes
As wine lovers, we’ve all probably heard of the term “Unicorn Wine” and many of us may have enjoyed some of these rare treasures. At Mauritson, we did not set out to make Unicorn Wines, we simply never wanted to rest on our laurels. Every year we experiment with different aspects of winemaking in our constant pursuit of excellence. It may be a new varietal, fermentation vessel, co-ferment, blend or aging vessel. Regardless, it keeps us sharp and pushes us to strive for perfection. Every once in a while, something remarkable happens, something that is non-replicable, and we are essentially forced to bottle this unique expression. This is what we call a Unicorn Wine.
