Description

This cuvée represents a perfect meeting of the minds between the spice of Syrah, the fruit of the Zweigelt and the power of Merlot.

With a dark ruby colour and a violet rim, its fruity, fleshy and spicy aromas evoke the perception of blackberries, raspberries and ripe cherries, as well as smoked meats & black pepper, with even a hint of clove joining the mix.

On the palate, especially the blackberry and black pepper come to the fore, coupled with fine roasted aromas and very well-integrated acidity.

The subtle use of wood contributes to the robust tannin structure and the long, concentrated finish.

60% Syrah, 30% Zweigelt, 10% Merlot
