Its expressive aromas of wild berries, floral notes and savoury herbs are complemented by refined tannins and impressive balance. Medium to full-bodied, it offers remarkable concentration while maintaining a graceful, almost Pinot Noir-like texture. The 2017 vintage showcases the vineyard's distinctive character and excellent ageing potential.
