This gorgeous variety originates amidst the Gigondas region's ancient terrains, lending a unique character. Its red ruby colour catches the eye, and an aromatic combination of sweet spices, red fruits, and subtle hints of oak tingle the senses. On the palate, it is full-bodied and nuanced with a harmonious balance of power and finesse. It lingers with a sophisticated finish. This wine is the ultimate partner for red meat dishes, or savoured on its own. A compelling testament to biodynamic winemaking tradition.

A lovely deep dark red wine. On the nose it has hints of liquorice, violets and black fruits. In the mouth, it is both delicate and powerful. Tannins with a noble texture. The aromas found on the nose are also discovered in the mouth.
