Aged in 100% new French oak puncheons (500L, lightly toasted), this Grenache opens with a rush of strawberry compote, raspberry, and cherry, unfolding into layers of white pepper, wild herbs, and the delicate perfume of rose petals. On the palate, it strikes a beautiful balance — the vibrant fruit and freshness of the New World interwoven with the savory depth of a classic Rhône. Juicy, lively red fruits lead the way, wrapped in polished, fine-grained tannins and playful acidity. The finish lingers gracefully, revealing echoes of dried herbs, tea leaves, and gentle baking spices. Energetic yet refined, this is a wine that hums with life and layers.
