This wine showcases a complex nose filled with aromas of jammy black fruits, cocoa, and spices, leading to a warm palate with fine, tight tannins and notes of prunes and cherries. The organic farming practices further enhance the natural flavors and quality of the wine.

Composition: Predominantly Grenache, complemented by Syrah and Mourvèdre. The vines grow on a diverse soil that combines clay, limestone, and pebbles.
Winemaking: Traditional fermentation with controlled temperatures to preserve aromas.
Aging: Aged in French oak barrels for 12 months.

Wine Critic Reviews

Wine Enthusiast (96): A decadent expression, find aromas of stewed strawberries, rhubarb and fresh red cherries, which harmonize with violets and fresh thyme. The attack on the palate is delightful, with delicious black cherries singing through its long stony finish. Tannins appear to integrate well into the wine, making for a pleasurable experience now or after cellaring well through 2035+.
