Bloody Hill occupies a dramatic 6‑acre parcel of red, rocky volcanic soil — “It’s called that ’cause it’s bloody steep!” as Timo likes to say. Grapes for this bottling come from a less densely planted section of the vineyard with slightly higher yields, and vines perched between 300 and 470 meters above sea level. The site’s cool, maritime‑tinged climate (winter and spring rain, cool, dry summers) preserves bright, pure fruit expression.
On the nose and palate, raspberry, cranberry and cherry lead the way, unmasked by overt oak. Subtle spice and savory notes weave through lifted acidity, and fine tannins carry the finish with poise and length. A refined, terroir‑driven wine that balances energy and restraint.
