On the palate it combines Grenache’s lift with Shiraz and Mourvèdre depth, delivering red and dark fruit, a touch of cocoa, and earthy spice. Medium-full in body with fine tannins and balanced acidity, finishing with peppery spice. Versatile with grilled lamb, charcuterie, braised dishes, and aged cheeses. Ready to enjoy now with decanting; will age gracefully for a few years.
