Night of the Purple Moon Antidoot Wilde Fermenten

Crafted by one of Belgium's most exciting natural wine adventurers, this red is pure spontaneity in a bottle. Grapes from young northern vines are picked by hand, fermented with wild yeasts only, and left to do their thing with no fining, no filtering and barely a whisper of sulphur. The result? A juicy, bright, slightly wild red bursting with crunchy dark berries, wild herbs and a lively, almost electric freshness. Serve it lightly chilled and you'll get the best of its energy. Perfect with charcuterie, grilled veg or simply shared with friends who love wine that's alive and honest.
