Deep nose of red fruits with subtle aromas of dry earth and spice. Rich and suave on the generous palate where the dense fine tannins are already beautifully integrated. Very long velvety finish which has a remarkably delicacy. A cuvee of eight separate plots on the high plain of Gigondas. About 75% grenache, plus mourvedre and a little bit of syrah and cinsault. 75% whole bunch. Matured in a combination of Stockinger oak foudre and clay amphora. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold.

This has seamless integration to the rooibos tea, plum cake and crushed cherry flavors, which are all cut through with a smoldering iron underpinning. Plush and silky on the palate, with supple tannins providing the gentle framework to keep this graceful. Closes out with a meaty, mesquite smoke note. Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Cinsault.
