The wines are hand-picked, hand-pressed, spontaneously fermented and bottled after 15 months in used barriques and unfined and unfiltered with minimal SO2 added.

Dark purple with violet reflections and black core.

The 2020 Pointe du Jour by Flo Busch is a clear child of its origin on the nose Dark fruit of black cherries and plums mix with mulberries, black olives, thyme and a subtle core tone reminiscent of sloes. Deep and dark, it oscillates between fruit and spice and makes the lips purse expectantly towards the glass.

Powerful, dense and gripping on the nose, it slims down directly on the palate. The tightly woven and tightly knotted tannins contour it with tart fruit and neatly part it. Tailor-made and tight, the expansive fruit of the nose is surprisingly disciplined on the palate and is accompanied by ethereally cool top notes of wild thyme and mint. The refreshing acidity accompanies it with good grip into the fruity, tart finish.
