Tasting Notes

Appearance:
Brilliant ruby with a luminous crimson edge — intense yet beautifully pure.

Aroma:
Extraordinary aromatic detail and lift:

• wild strawberry and raspberry
• red cherry and pomegranate
• rose petal and exotic spice
• dried herbs, orange peel and mineral nuance
• subtle earth, graphite and fine oak

An intoxicating, high-definition bouquet.

Palate:
Silky, layered and seamlessly structured — a world-class expression of Grenache.
Expect waves of:

• pristine red berry fruit
• cherry, cranberry and blood orange
• savoury spice and herbal complexity
• ultra-fine, powdery tannins
• vibrant acidity providing incredible energy and drive

The wine delivers power through finesse, with remarkable purity and length.

Finish:
Endless, perfumed and incredibly precise — red fruit, spice and mineral notes lingering long after the last sip.
