There is something almost Pinot-like in this beaut soft and smooth drinking red wine. Whole bunch naturally fermented and basket pressing has resulted in a wine that displays bright perfumes dominated by juicy cherry aromas. The typical rose petal Grenache characters merge. The tannins are so soft, contributing to a slick and smooth velvety palate. There is a purity about this that seems to provide a direct link from vine to palate.
