"Signature cuvée"
This single-vineyard cuvée reveals a wine with a unique and complex character, shaped by its exceptional clay-limestone terroir. The nose is marked by aromas of raspberry, redcurrant, morello cherry, and black pepper. Rich and intense, the palate rests on silky tannins, with complex notes of black fruit and spices. The freshness on the finish provides a lovely length and suggests excellent aging potential. Watch the video!
