2019 Travis Tausend Sitting In a Tree Merlot
2019 Travis Tausend Sitting In a Tree Merlot a bit of cherry, vanilla and cedar on the nose, medium-bodied palate is full of raspberry, cherry, plum and vanilla flavours. A light-hearted and fun Merlot that still maintains decent structure. Fermented on skins for 3 weeks before pressing to tank using a bag press. Settled in tank and then racked to barrel for 12 months.
All of Travis Tausends' wines are strictly zero-zero, meaning nothing has been added or removed from the wine. Only pure grape juice and indigenous yeast on show here, folks. This lends a real purity to the wines and the late release (many of his peers are releasing their 2021's as this 2019 finds its way onto the shelves) means that the wine drinks without any funkiness.

FAQ
What is natural wine?
The philosophy of natural wine is one of minimal-intervention, from vineyard to cellar. Natural wines are made using quality grapes, generally grown using organic and biodynamic practices, however vineyards may not always be certified as such due to the restrictive nature of these certification systems. Natural wines in most cases won't be filtered or fined, processes which generally involve the use of animal products.
Are your wines vegan friendly?
In almost all cases yes! Generally if you see "unfiltered and unfined" this will be an assurance that no animal products have been used in the process. The fining process is where conventional winemakers will often use egg and fish products (yep pretty gross) to remove sediment from wines. The sediment is natural, healthy and adds flavour so natural wine makers almost always leave some of it in.
Are your wines chemical free?
Yes, we only stock wines that use grapes grown using biodynamic or organic farming methods and will have none of the over 200 additives that can be found in conventional wines, *with the occasional exception of a tiny amount of sulphur. Some organic winemakers choose to add a small amount of sulphur (SO2) to ensure their wines travel better and last longer.
