Nose

Palate

Silky and fleshy on the palate with a chewy finish and hints of liquorice and red fruit compote. Beautiful opulence, silky tannins and a long finish.

Growing Conditions

Merlot and Cabernet Franc from carefully selected plots of clayey gravel and Cabernet Sauvignon grown on sandy gravel.

Harvest

Mechanical harvest. The fruit is sorted with optical screening equipment.

Winemaking

Appearance

A dense purple color.
