Tasting Notes

Displaying a dark, purplish hue with youthful vibrancy, this Grenache delivers an aromatic journey from East to West: dark soy, Chinese five spice, rice vinegar, cinnamon, musk, cardamom, balsamic, pastis, and even English Christmas cake. The bouquet is sharp, lifted, and aromatic, yet anchored with depth.

On the palate, clean acidity ushers in rounded, fine-grained tannins. Cool-picked dark berry fruit meets dry, savoury flavours and a layered texture, all coming together with a sense of natural precision. The wine achieves a remarkable balance of meaningful weightlessness and refined intensity.
