Wismer-Parke is one of the most original crus on the Vineland Bench. It is adjacent to Wismer-Parke’s ‘Wild West End,’ and facing the Hanck vineyard! Perhaps the finest Wiz-Parke we have yet dreamed into existence! A subtle, savoury, salty seaside feel with strawberries and other mixed red berries. The uniqueness of the dark, brooding, slightly herbal mouthfeel is palpable, with minty raspberries mingling in a supple saline, mineral, slatey finish. There is some slight bitterness on the finish, as well. The spice of the wood feeds into the deep umami woodsy complexity. Intense blueberries and raspberries. Perhaps the reduction from the soil is what offers us that sweet curl of rich cherry fruit with a slate and rust finish and faint notes of lavender and thyme.

A word from Mary: Rhubarb. Always my little Vampire.
