Nose:
Fragrant and refined, showing red currant, raspberry, and sour cherry intertwined with graphite, violets, and the signature Cabernet Franc herbal lift.
Palate:
Medium-bodied with fresh acidity and fine, powdery tannins. Flavours of pomegranate, red cherry, and crushed herbs glide across the palate, finishing long and mineral with a savoury edge.
Ageing Potential:
Can age 6-8 years, gaining notes of cigar box, dried herbs, and forest floor.
Food Pairings:
Perfect with roast pork belly, herbed chicken, mushroom pasta, or charcuterie.
Moment Pairing:
A refined red for evenings with good conversation or thoughtful cooking.
Vineyards & Harvest:
Grown on dolomite-rich soils that encourage perfumed aromatics and linear structure.
Vinification:
Gentle extraction to preserve elegance, followed by maturation in older French oak to soften tannins without adding excess wood influence.
