The winemaking team carefully selects grapes from prime vineyard sites. They mature the wine in 225L French oak barrels. A portion of this oak is new. This meticulous aging process builds complexity and subtle spice. The nose offers vibrant raspberry and dark morello cherry. Hints of smoke and earth develop with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied, showing an unusual depth for Cinsault. It delivers perfectly balanced acidity and supple tannins. It finishes with a fragrant, savoury, and persistent flavour.
