Tasting Note
Pronounced violet and black-fruit aromas (cassis, blackberry) with floral notes and peppery spice; warm, velvety palate, supple tannins and a long, gourmand finish.

Food Pairing
Western: roast lamb, grilled or braised beef, steak, mature/character cheeses. Asian: char siu or Cantonese roast pork, Korean BBQ (bulgogi), Sichuan-style beef, teriyaki or hoisin-glazed duck.

Production Method
Hand-harvested Syrah with small Viognier addition (co‑fermented/co‑macerated style common to the cuvée); temperature‑controlled fermentation and short elevage before bottling (typical regional practice).
