Tasting profile
The 2022 wine has an intense, vibrant and deep purple colour. Its varietal character is accompanied by a complex fruit profile, while fine, velvety tannins give it a smooth texture.
Serving and pairing

Vintage notes
In 2022, a cold winter delayed budbreak slightly. Above-average spring temperatures allowed the growing season to recover, while a hot, dry summer was followed by rain at the end of August, supporting optimal grape ripening.
The 2021 season began with mild winter temperatures and average rainfall, providing water reserves for the growing season. Cool spring conditions slightly delayed budbreak and flowering; high summer temperatures and limited rainfall then supported excellent maturation.
