We make this from top-quality Riesling fruit grown at Kick-On vineyard. Fermented to a point where the slight sweetness is balanced perfectly with the crisp acidity. All stainless steel fermented and steel aged. A perfect balance of slight sweetness balanced with apple and citrus fruit acidity. Fragrant and food-friendly; especially good paired with delicate (or raw) fish.

M5 is always all about Grenache and, as it is every year, the trick is to balance the crimson, aromatic, lean, bright, tight, crangrape, (crangrape is a made up word) tobacco, smoky, leather, earthy, Grenache, Counoise, Mourvèdre, Cinsault based components with the bombastic, dark, black, licorice, plum, fruity, tannic, bold, intense ripe, full-bodied Syrah we make. Light ruby red in color with red licorice, lean and dry, it’s like a 2007 Rhone with good acidity and not as fruity as M5 often is. The wine is persistent and still very young. The M5 mission statement: M5 is a wine that is from a thought – a blend that is an amalgamation of memories, both distant and recent, of wines I’ve tasted and loved the past thirty-three years.
