Tasting notes:

The aromatic profile of this wine is melted and typical. It mixes notes of red berries, scents of garrigue and notes of cocoa. Its structure is round with a lot of freshness and a beautiful length where we find cherry, spices and roasted notes.

Serving suggestions:

Given its very flexible structure and finesse, this wine will express itself on many dishes. Its typical character gives it of course a predilection for weddings to a Mediterranean cuisine but its potential is much wider. For a perfect expression of this wine a serving temperature of around 16 to 18 °C will be ideal.

Tasting notes:

On the nose, this wine offers notes of grasses and herbs from the “garrigue” and scrubland that surround the vineyards, along with cherry aromas. These aromas combine with hints of toasting on the palate.

The velvety structure offers a touch of freshness and full flavours that linger in the mouth.

Serving suggestions:

This wine may be served with Mediterranean dishes made with black tapenade or preserved vegetables (such as a vegetable tian), lamb chops grilled with herbs or family meals such as shepherd’s pie or salt pork with lentils. In winter it’s best served between 17 and 18°C, while in summer it should be slightly cooler at between 15 and 17°C.
