Fruit is hand-picked from small vineyard plots rooted in clay-limestone soil. Simply de-stemmed and fermented by indigenous yeast, the wine goes through a long, slow fermentation. Ten months is spent unwinding in French oak vats and barrels to knit the complex layers together well.

A dark crimson blend of Grenache and Mourvèdre with a complex nose; aromas of blackberries, baking spice, toasty oak, and liquorice carry through to the palate. A dense wine with excellent length, the tannins are present and well-rounded.

“Blackberry jam aromas lead to a palate that has good concentration, dark fruits and dried herbs. It’s balanced by fresh acidity, with a gently warming finish. Savoury, with good length and freshness. It has a texture you can sink your teeth into.”
