About the wine

Tasting notes

Stormy purple and ruby with a nose that’s simultaneously floral and earthy, with toasty Genmai green tea, gently herbaceous sous-bois and slightly smokey stem that surround savouring leaning raspberry, plum and a hint of watermelon. Sophisticated, complex and enchanting. The palate is lush, spicy and textured dry by wonderfully sweet tannins and boasts a core of cherries, raspberry licorice, plum, dried blood orange zest and fuji apple that balance concentration and depth, as well as great purity, vibrancy and freshness. It moves across its arc with elegance and ends on a tail that seems to reflect the same charming spirit of its maker. Gorgeous!

The Grape

Grenache

Grenache, (or Garnacha), is one of the most important red grape varieties in the world and is responsible for some of the most expensive and collected wines out there. It's the key variety for making elegant Châteauneuf-du-Pape and rich GSM's, but is brilliant as a stand alone variety and makes wines with a medium body, but intense and often spicy flavours of deep red fruits, black cherry, charred plum, leather, blood orange, dried herbals and cinnamon. From crisp and crunchy, to velvety and rich, this versatile grape is awesome!
