"Signature Cuvée"

This single-vineyard cuvée reveals a wine with a distinctive and complex character derived from the exceptional clay-limestone terroir. The nose is marked by aromas of raspberry, red currant, morello cherry, and black pepper. Rich and intense on the palate, it is supported by silky tannins and complex notes of black fruits and spices. The freshness on the finish provides lovely length and suggests excellent aging potential. Watch the video!
