Selected from specific vineyard plots, this cuvée reveals an intense bouquet with notes of fresh blackcurrant liqueur and licorice. It is a full-bodied, round wine with noticeable yet silky tannins... A truly "sun-kissed" wine!

A wine that’s easy to drink but lacks depth, with little character. Disappointing.
