Production Details The trade sheet is internally inconsistent about maturation: its narrative says 12 months in new 400 L oak barrels, while its specification table says maturation in a stainless-steel vat. It also describes traditional viticulture and recommends serving at 15–17°C, with decanting beneficial when young.
Tasting Notes Bright, dense ruby red; black berries, blackberries and black cherries with vermouth and cinnamon; fruit-led palate with blueberry jelly and pepper, rounded tannins, freshness and a persistent finish.
Food Pairing Starters, homemade pâté or game terrine, mushroom-based brown sauces, braised dishes, duck or guinea fowl, steaks, grilled foods, and semi-hard or hard cheeses.
