The vineyards are mostly dry-farmed bush vines grown on granite and schist soils, contributing concentration alongside freshness. Winemaking is deliberately restrained, with gentle extraction and older oak maturation allowing the fruit and savoury detail to remain the focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"680\" data-end=\"1149\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1200\" data-end=\"1257\"\u003eColour:\u003cbr data-start=\"1211\" data-end=\"1214\"\u003eBright ruby red with youthful purple tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1200\" data-end=\"1257\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1259\" data-end=\"1457\"\u003eNose:\u003cbr data-start=\"1268\" data-end=\"1271\"\u003eRed cherry, plum and blackberry aromas lead the nose, followed by cracked black pepper, dried herbs and subtle earthy spice.
