Confectionary, juicy, bright.
A cheeky play on words, as Therapy wines tend to, the Pink Freud is made from Merlot and Pinot Noir.
Cranberry in colour, you can also expect a confectioner's shop of aromas; candied cherries, orange creamsicle, toffee and candied lilacs. The palate is juicy, spicy and sweet, but with a brightening burst of acidity to help tame it.
Pair with spicier dishes, ratatouille or grilled white meats.

Minimalist, intense, alive.
This Gewurztraminer is following the current humble trend of orange wines - those made with minimal intervention. It's been put through a natural fermentation and has extended skin contact, which acts as a natural preservative (and colour enhancer).
The colour is peachy-copper and the nose offers apricot jelly, orange creamsicle, figs and desiccated roses, vanilla and star anise with a decent dose of honey. Phenolic textural palate is certainly aided by the additional skin contact, it is juicy and very intense but has a levity and thriving evolving palate. It tastes alive as opposed to many wines of this ilk.
Worth seeking.

Fresh, fruity, floral.
Off dry and definitely fizzy, this sparkling blend is made from Chardonnay and the very fragrant Orange Muscat (14%). It is made in the charmat method, meaning the first and second fermentation occur in tank.
It is fresh, fruity and floral on the nose, with orangeblossom honey. It is a moussey version deftly handled sweetness and a medium-length finish.

Modern, ripe, supple.
Freud's Ego is a proprietary blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, harvested in the warm 2015 vintage. It shows, in its ripeness and dried fruit character, but it is still juicy, which adds necessary lift. Prune and fig aromas do not detract from fresh cherry and raspberry; underneath lay licorice, vanilla, cocoa and baking spice notes. The palate is equally modern and spicy with a sweet colaesque quality and supple weight.
Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Cabernet Franc
