Winemaking Notes: Destemmed, cold soaked for 4 days, wild yeast fermentation for 10 days, 1-3 pumpovers per day, 100% malolactic fermentation in French oak barrels, aged for 24 months, no fining, filtered

Tasting Notes: It has a fresh, floral bouquet with expressive Carignan that is in synergy with the fellow grape varieties. There is a touch of bacon fat developing with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with a soft entry and good weight in the mouth. There is a slight dustiness on the entry, but it opens with a nicely composed chocolate finish that would benefit from a little more backbone. But it has great character and harmony, and the acidity lends it vivacity and tension.
