Bright red fruit dominates the nose with soft mocha and spice notes. The palate is bright, finely structured from the schist soils, with fine, pure tannins, and red berry notes only enhanced by the well poised use of oak.
Grapes are destemmed and crushed, followed by fermentation for 10 days with gentle pumping over and a maceration for 8 days. This is an oaked style, with time in second and third fill French oak for 4 months to enhance the fruit.
