Tasting notes

An intense ruby red, richer than wines from our other vineyards. The nose is expressed as a symphony of aromas ranging from the intense smell of red orange and purple to the fresh balsamic note of aromatic herbs. The expression of this vineyard is characterized by a more creamy and silky texture combined with a fun and vibrant salinity. | The 2018 vintage was milder with some refreshing rains in early September. The wines from this vintage are certainly rich and Mediterranean, but we think that with appropriate cellar management, using the concrete stop more, they will still offer an interesting dynamism. And a long period of aging.
