Winemaking techniques
Harvesting by hand in crates at perfect ripeness. The Grenache and Syrah are vinified traditionally in small temperature-controlled concrete vats. To bring out the fruit and a supple style, extraction is gentle, obtained via short periods of punching down repeated daily at the beginning of the fermentation process. Part of the blend of the three grape varieties is matured in barrels for ten months. The rest of the wine is matured in concrete vats to preserve the red fruit and garrigue aromas. The wine is re-blended before bottling, when it expresses its full freshness and Mediterranean character.
Tasting notes
Deep red colour. An expressive nose of small red fruit and spice. Soft in the attack with smooth tannins. An intensely lingering finish of spice and delicate smoke notes.
