- A ripe and generous blend offers wild berried blackcurrant and blackberry notes with delicate peppery spice. Rounded and smooth on the palate with a moreish finish of juicy black cherries. The 2022 season started with good rainfall in spring, which replenished the soil water reserves and sustained the vines through the hot and dry summer that followed. The warm and dry summer followed through into September and provided perfect conditions for the final stages of ripening. The harvest took place under good conditions, and the quality of the grapes was excellent, showing good aromatics and flavour concentration.
The wine was made with minimal intervention and without the addition of sulphites. The carefully selected grapes were received into the winery via gravity and were traditionally vinified. Three-day skin contact maceration occurred at cold temperatures, followed by 10-day maceration at 25°C. Fermentation occurred with natural yeasts, followed by maturation in concrete tanks for six months until bottling. Twenty per cent was aged in French oak barrels, imparting subtle complexity.

| Winery | Both the Syrah and Merlot are grown in vineyards in the Languedoc-Roussillon, where the Mediterranean climate, with its hot, dry summers and mild winters, provides optimal conditions for premium viticulture. Each variety is grown on specific terroir: the Merlot vines are planted in limestone soils renowned for imparting elegance to wine, while the Syrah is planted in Basaltic volcanic soils, which nourish the vines with complex minerals and influences the wine with lovely, fresh minerality. The vineyard is cultivated using organic practices; natural preparations are employed, and the vineyard's biodiversity is encouraged. The grapes are harvested at night to cool and maximise their freshness. The wine is classified as Vin de France to allow stylistic freedom. |
