Dream ON – Merlot & Syrah

The Rhythm of Freedom

Dream On is a tribute to dreams, youth, and the inner voice that moves us forward! This wine is built around energy and expression. Crafted using carbonic maceration, it reveals pure fruit, vibrant freshness, and a naturally lifted character, while maintaining precision and balance.

The Craft

The blend of Merlot and Syrah is selected to support this style. The grapes are harvested slightly earlier, preserving natural acidity and favouring tension and aromatic brightness over concentration. Vinification follows the principles of carbonic maceration. Whole clusters are placed in sealed tanks under an inert atmosphere, allowing fermentation to begin within the berries themselves before the juice is released. Extraction remains deliberately gentle, resulting in fine, soft tannins and a fluid, supple texture. The wine is defined not by density, but by movement and clarity.

A Wine of Energy and Expression

Aromatically, Dream On is precise and vibrant blackberry, blueberry, fresh plum, with subtle spice. On the palate, the wine is juicy, fresh, and continuous. Light to medium-bodied, with bright acidity and a clean, delicately persistent finish. This is a wine that flows — effortless and alive.

A Contemporary Spirit

Dream On is about freedom, rhythm, and optimism. A wine for those who follow their instinct — and move to their own beat.

Dream On — keep moving forward.
