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 subtle 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. Vegan-friendly. Organic.
