Grape variety
Grenache - Syrah - Carignan
Origin
The grapes for this wine hail from three of the Roussillon's famed terroirs: Montner (a temperate zone producing grapes that lend depth to the wine), Tautavel (a hot, dry terroir whose grapes add complexity) and Caramany (a cooler area with grapes that lend elegance).
Vinification
The grapes are handpicked. The Syrah and Grenache grapes are vinified traditionally while the Carignan undergoes whole bunch maceration.
Ageing
40% barrels (20% new oak) and 60% stainless steel tanks.
Tasting notes
Deep in colour with carmine hues.
Aromas of raspberry, violet, liquorice and blackberry underscored by spicy notes.
Full-bodied from the start with soft tannins. Long on the finish.
Wine and Food
Enjoy with grilled meats, poultry in puff pastry, and Mediterranean cuisine.
Serving suggestions
Serve at 17°C.
