Wine Enthusiast

Wine rated (2022 guide) 88/100

About the wine:

Made from a blend that is half Négrette—the local grape variety—this wine is juicy, with a slight earthy note and hints of red fruit. The wine’s light structure pairs well with its supple tannins and generous fruitiness. Best enjoyed starting in 2023. Suitable for vegans. Organic.
