Description

In dreams, we are possessed of an alternative vision of reality, and through alchemy, we transform. The alchemy of dreams is therefore the transformation of the unseen into the real, and the spark of life within. With wine transformed from the vessel of the grape into the elixir that fills our glass, we see the magical power of alchemy, where grapes are converted into a new state, wine, that itself elicits dreams… A surreal state in between worlds, the Alchemy of Dreams is creation brought to life… and so, life itself! All our senses are captured through the alchemy of dreams, and our senses lifted to a new dimension as we create our own vision of the world! To further dreams, emotions, creations and transformations… to Alchemy!

Tasting Notes
Aroma: 

On the nose, you find notes of violet and raspberry with a hint of spice in the form of pepper, followed by a whisper of wet forest floor.

Palate: 

The bright notes of this Pinot Noir spread across your palate, with layered richness in the form of plum and tart cherry, giving way to its light body and optimal acidity. Burgundian in style, each sip evokes the memory of dewy morning walks in autumn woods.

Winemaking
Vintage Notes: 

From dreams to the senses of experience, this Pinot noir bears the painting that dares to see a vision of the five senses in a very different way.The vessels of our experience, the five senses translate the physical world to our mind, where it is transformed by alchemy into our dreams... At every point in the journey of our senses, we dare to see multiple realities! The sensual experience, from the eyes to the smell, taste, touch and sound, enlightens our dreams beyond our imagination!
