The wine shows an exciting mix of berry fruit and spice with underlying chocolate, supported by integrated oak. The fruit translates to the palate and combines with a fine tannin structure to ensure good keeping potential, and enjoyment with fine cuisine. Taste it with mushroom, spicy casserole, as well as meat dishes, venison, braised lamb shank, pork with soy, sesame oil and ginger. Recommended maturation potential: 8 years.

40% Syrah, 30% Grenache, 30% Carignan.
Slate with a high clay content.
The annual rainfall is more than 700mm, so irrigation is not necessary. The prevailing winds also decrease the necessity to spray. The vineyards are well established being on average over 35 years old and have no problem to ripen the grapes to full ripeness.
Hand harvesting at optimum ripeness.
Each element of the blend was picked at optimum ripeness and vinified separately. After crushing and destalking the wine was fermented in pumpover fermenters before being transferred to barrel for malolactic fermentation. In December, the blend was made up after rigorous tasting and returned to barrels for a 5-month maturation before bottling. R/S: 3.2 g/l.
