Winemaker Notes
The wine shows a real individuality and personality with bright fragrant violet perfume, sappy spicy peppery raspberry and redcurrant confit complexity, hints of sun raisined cranberries, cured bresaola, boiled raspberry sweets and wild strawberries. The palate weight is soft and sensual, combining the best of both Grenache and Cinsault to form a harmonious, silky soft sappy red blend. The wine seems to grow exponentially in the glass, revealing layers of strawberry jam, raspberry compote and Turkish delight, all framed with bright crystalline acids that really amplify the wines purity, minerality and sense of place. Sleek and polished tannins with a mellow fruit intensity.

Wine Spectator
A very fresh, unadorned style, offering a tightly focused beam of bitter cherry, blood orange and rooibos tea flavors racing through, flecked with a shiso leaf hint on the streamlined finish. Not big, but pure and persistent. Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah.
