Description
Tasting notes
A bold expression of dark fruit, with smoky, grilled notes of black cherry, blackberry and ripe plum, lifted by the wild, savoury herbs of the Mediterranean garrigue. Full-bodied and richly textured, the palate unfolds with fleshy fruit, warming spice and supple tannins, finishing with a smooth, velvety depth.
Pairings
Pairs well with red meats in sauce, grilled lamb with herbs, charcuterie, pizza, and strong or sheep’s milk cheeses.
Best served between 16°C and 18°C (60°F–65°F).
