We are sold out but you can buy this wine directly from Ancien.
The Mink Vineyard grown on volcano ash is a unique expression, savory, mouthwatering with minerality and old-world style. The real secret to Mink’s explosive flavors, smooth, mouth-coating minerality, comes from the soil. Underneath is a layer of compressed volcanic ash, called tufa. The tufa drains the topsoil, storing moisture in its porous structure. The vines are able, with some work, to grow roots into the tufa layer, accessing moisture during the long, dry growing season.
