Old vine Grenache meets attention to detail and the result is total mouth-filling pleasure. Potent scents of maraschino cherry, plum, earth, cacao, anise, violet aromatics and orange peel. Full of upfront appeal and lively to boot, it delivers a palate concentrated in red fruits and spices, stamped and held together by discreet vanillin oak and super fine tannins. A clipped herbal edge drives the dry finish.
