Description

An absolute gem of a wine made with grapes from some impressive 80 years old Grenache vines, from which only the most pristine grapes were hand-picked picked and set aside, resulting in only two barrels made in total. This wine is the definition of boutique winemaking. Gentle and careful handling of the fruit at every step, minimal intervention needed because of the quality of the fruit, and an extremely close eye over 12 months before dropping everything at the perfect time to hand-bottle once the creaminess and oak characteristics were at their finest. The result is a wine of brilliant colour vibrancy bursting through the glass with lifted aromatics of cherry ripe and raspberry. Subtle notes of spiced mocha seep through, finishing with floral characteristics. A mouth-filling, but refined elegant palate of silk follows, with flavours of raspberry and creaminess persisting. Drinks beautifully already but will also develop for the next 5-7 years. Serve next to meatballs, delicate game dishes or a Shepherd’s Pie.
