"This is instantly appealing on the nose showing dark berry, rich floral, clove and hazelnut aromas, leading to a flavoursome palate that's filled with ripe fruit flavours together with elegant savoury nuances. Supple and silky, making it fabulously drinkable. At its best: now to 2026" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Mar 2023

"Aromas and flavours of plums and red berries, there’s a classic granite and hard stone soil quality, a balabced use of oak and a mix of red flowers with a peppery spice quality. Medium+ weight on the palate, dry with a core of red berry and plum flavours laced with spice and mild wood tones. Balanced and well made with best drinking from 2023 through 2027+. This is a classically styled wine, dry and gently firm with many applications for use with food" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Jan 2023

Its deep colour has a dark, plum-like hue. The nose is classically Syrah, with berry fruit, violet, liquorice. It has a full, rounded palate with delicate tannins, making it unique in the "Côtes-du-Rhône" category.

Mediterranean with a prevailing "Mistral" wind. This harsh wind - both necessary and beneficial to the vines' development - is caused by the difference between the Southern and Northern Rhône's atmospheric pressures. Highly seasonal rainfall, hot temperatures and abundant sunshine are also the characteristic of this region.

The entire crop is destemmed. Fermentation and maceration take place in closed vats for approximately 15 days. Daily pumping over ensures the proper extraction. Fermentation temperature is controlled, and kept at between 82°F and 86°F (28°C and 30°C). After devatting, pressing and racking, malolactic fermentation is carried out in stainless steel vats.

The wines are kept in vats to preserve fruit aromas. They are racked regularly in order to allow their components to stabilise naturally. This mystery cuvée is bottled after 8 months of ageing.

Food Pairing: "Provençale" style cuisine, stuffed tomatoes and aubergines, mixed grills and barbecues.
