The Character

Tasting Notes On the nose this is vibrant, with bright raspberries and cranberry, then hints of savory spice. A medium-bodied, soft-textured wine of bright, juicy red fruit that glides across the length of the palate, finishing with a gentle lick of savory tannin. Best enjoyed in its youth and with gusto.

The Story

This Grenache is sourced from old vines and sees limited neutral oak for 8 months, in order to create the purest expression of the varietal. It is made to be enjoyed in its youth, with a medium body and soft texture.

The 2022 vintage was set up beautifully with good soil moisture carrying over from the mild 2021 vintage. La Nina-influenced weather patterns resulted in mild harvest conditions again, allowing for even flavor accumulation and vibrant aromatics and acidity. A standout season.
