17.5pts ‘Absolutely wonderful! Peppery, fragrant, fresh – rain-wet gravel. Long and seriously exciting! There is so much energy in this wine that I can feel the hair on my arms lifting. This is pretty special!’ Jancis Robinson.com
Ripe strawberries and spices on the nose. Full bodied, though mineral in style, with fine,
ripe tannins. The palate develops supple and suave hints of
pepper and red fruit.
Fantastic with pizza, grilled meat and oily fish.
Pairs well with grilled vegetables, veggie cheese bakes and lentil/bean dishes.

Vinification
Destemmed grapes fermented in small concrete tanks for 6 weeks before pressing.
Grenache and Cinsault are blended then aged for 12 months in a foudre.
Mourvèdre stored in tank on fine lees before final blending.
After a light filtration the wine is bottled to a descending moon for aging potential, with minimal added sulphur to protect the wine.
The wines are delivered within 5 to 10 working days in continental Europe by Chronopost. We do not ship to Japan/Canada/USA/UK.
