Production

Malbec has a long history in the Languedoc and has traditionally been used in blends. One of the great advantages of the region is the ideal climatic conditions: long hot days followed by cool nights allow for longer, slower ripening of the grapes. Thereby providing lots of ripeness and soft tannins, but with necessary acidity. Winemaking techniques have been chosen here to allow the variety’s natural ripe flavours to shine. The grapes are fermented in stainless steel for maximum red and black fruit flavours.

Tasting Notes

Bright blueberry fruit which develops to reveal an intriguing bitter-sweet character of blackcurrant leaf. Fine red fruits fill the palate, with raspberries and a touch of dark chocolate on the finish.
