What The Fellas Say

This wine is an open log fire in a ski hut with a warm fruit tart on a sheepskin rug: cozy, luxurious and a little bit dangerous. It’s a rich burst of red berries from four opinionated grapes with deep tannins (from a few days of 100% stem fermentation) all softened and smoothed by a year in French oak. Enjoy alone…or with someone special.

What The Sommelier Says

Surprisingly clear and open ruby colour. The nose shows up bright and fresh and markedly mineral, with wild fruits, spices a hint of balsamic reduction. On the palate it is direct and bold, hints of plum and chocolate with a well-defined acidity and finesse.

Pairs well with…

…a juicy steak, pheasant or lamb stew, aged manchego cheese, cherry pie.
