Tasting notes:
The bouquet of this wine mixes aromas of red fruits, especially cherry with a hint of liquorice on a background of scents of garrigue (thyme, rosemary, cistus ...). This aromatic palette is based on a very round structure in the mouth with supple tannins but which highlight a beautiful freshness.
​
Serving suggestions:
Given its very supple structure and finesse, this wine will express itself on many dishes. Its typical character gives it of course a predilection for weddings to a Mediterranean cuisine, but its potential is much wider. For a perfect expression of this wine a serving temperature of around 16 to 18 ° C will be ideal.
