2019 Mythopia blue velvet

Mythopia's Blue Velvet is a revolutionary 100% Pinot Noir from Hans-Peter Schmidt's biodynamic Valais vineyards in Switzerland's Alps (Arbaz, 720-800m). Whole-bunch carbonic maceration for 9 months in airtight tanks, then 3+ years in old oak—unfiltered, zero sulfur—yields its signature blue-violet hue from heroic alpine terroir.

Explosive late-summer fruit (blueberry, blackberry) meets fresh mint, lovage, and mountain brook crispness, with velvety power, juicy depth, and savage elegance on the structured palate. Defies norms like botrytis-kissed Sancerre Pinot; pairs charcuterie or HK fusion.
