About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes come from low-yielding vines.

Ageing

The wine ages for 12–18 months in French oak barrels, followed by 12 months in bottle.

Tasting profile

Rich in colour, with lingering aromas of spice and fruit. The palate is mature, warm and balanced, with high acidity.
