Deep ruby red with bright garnet highlights.

Aroma

Lifted notes of wild cherry, red currant and dried rose petal, underpinned by forest floor and graphite nuances.

Palate

Silky‐smooth entry, showcasing ripe red fruit, baking spice and a subtle hint of truffle. Well-balanced acidity drives a long, mineral‐tinged finish.

Hand‐picked grapes are sorted and gently destemmed before a 3‐week fermentation in temperature‐controlled stainless steel. The wine is aged 14–16 months in 30% new French oak barrels, enhancing complexity while preserving freshness.
