A rich nose of red and black fruits. A full-bodied, roasted and spicy palate.
Perfect with game, spicy dishes, mature cheese, dark chocolate, etc.
85% Mourvèdre and 15% Grenache
The Mourvèdre is 70 years from a parcel Daniel and Chrissy’s grandfather had planted. Back then Mourvèdre was commonly referred to in the area as ‘Tintot’.
The grapes are 0% destemmed, vinified in concrete. The wine is aged in Barrique and concrete tank for 16 months before bottling.
Whiffs of smoked nut and dark chocolate accent primary, intensely ripe black cherry and plum in this wine. It's juicy and hedonistic, but shaded by hints of granite and earth. Approachable already it has firm tannins and subtle earth tones that should meld further through 2026. -A.C.I
