Lumière Palomino
Wild stuff but excellent. Nose smells a bit naturally. Lemon oil, but that natural skin contact thing. But very clean. Palate is grippy and concentrated. Sappy and pure. Great balance and purity. It’s an excellent example of what a natural wine should be but rarely is. Super clean and long. Legit structure. Complex and staggering levels of minerality. This can and will age. Long echoing finish. Really stellar. Wish more natty wine tasted like this. Then again Leclapart is a genius.

Aug 5th, 2022Very unusual wine, but it grew on me. This wine almost tastes like a lambic, with an oxidative flavor followed by a sour finish. It went well with Lavraki.

Mar 20th, 2023Seriously good stuff. 100% Palomino from biodynamically farmed 60 years old vines in their best plot, the the Viña Platera (1.2 hectares) in the Pago Miraflores. Fermented and aged in used oak barrels (with wild yeasts and no biological aging). Light, delicate, very complex. Hints of gunpowder, minerals and chalk. Great length.
