Mira Estate OvAu 2022

Our Estate OvAu 2022 is stimulating and complex due to the natural stirring process in the Ovum egg-shaped wooden fermenter. Layers of flavors due to the natural oak and related features of this unique vessel. Aromatics of dried apricots and a bright herbaceous palate that delivers a tremendous, “oh wow” finish. Ovum is the world’s first egg-shaped barrel crafted from oak and represents a significant technical achievement for the cooperage industry. Developed by the team at Tonnellerie Taransaud, our primary supplier of French oak barrels, the egg-shaped Ovum barrel has become one of the most exciting and sought-after innovations for world’s most talented winemakers.

"Straw color. Aromas and flavors of dried apricot, grapefruit zest, dried white flowers, vanilla, pears, and white button mushrooms with a velvety, lively, dry medium body and a tingling, delightful, medium-length finish with impressions of apricot and green apple, babies breath, green herbs in creme fraiche, and lime zest with light oak flavor. Fruity and floral with a delicate bitterness and crisp acidity, this is an incredibly versatile and food pairing friendly wine for any occasion." - 92 points, Beverage Testing Institute
