Medium to deep, bright red/purple colour. The bouquet is very alluring with Beaujolais-like whole-bunch aromas, strongly stemmy but not green. The palate is medium-weight, softly textured and fine tannined. A whiff of reduction. The wine is deliciously fruity and soft, appetising, and packs a lot of flavour into its mild-mannered structure. A real charmer.

This one-of-a-kind wine is beautifully perfumed with mountain herbs, lavender, rosemary and briary red fruits. Beautifully balanced and proportioned on the palate and immediately appealing with its gentle texture, refreshing acidity and superfine tannin structure. Drink from 2021.
