A wine with an unusual taste, the main variety being Mourvèdre. A complex impression with a very good balance of freshness and elegance. The aftertaste is long and thin. It has great aging potential.

Tasting Comments

Tasting Notes
This wine is mainly made of Mourvedre and has a very refined and elegant taste due to its long aging in egg-shaped concrete vats. The biggest difference between this wine and Bandol and other Spanish wines is that it has a dominant animal aroma and firm tannins. It has a rich fruit aroma and a very firm, mellow, ripe fruit flavor with just the right amount of tannins.

Pairing
Braised or roasted red meat (beef tenderloin with porcini mushrooms)
