TASTING NOTES
A fruit bomb of blue and dark berries, cedar, fresh rosemary and thyme and a wet clay minerality. Lots of fine grippy tannin as to be expected from this variety but the juicy acids keep them in balance making this wine a pleasure to quaff.

Vine density 5,000 rootstocks/ha with a yield 7000 kg/ha. The grapes are picked by hand and are immediately sent to the winery.
