Red cherry and cranberry with floral peony, forest floor and subtle spice. Silky, refined texture with chalky acidity, gentle tannins and a saline, lingering finish—elegant, concentrated and mineral-driven.

Old‑vine fruit (Vieilles Vignes); hand-harvested, native-yeast fermentation with minimal intervention, limited racking to preserve natural CO2; matured in French oak barrels; producer notes indicate no added sulphites.
