Tasting note

Delicate dark fruits, light notes of plum and touches of blueberry, minor earthy notes developing on top of a bed of milk chocolate and light lavender floral notes. Delicate and effortless on the palate, fine fruit and tannin textures with lengthy, fine acidity that threads through into the lengthy finish.

Vintage 2021

A heavy snowfall in January left good water reserves. The spring was dry and cool, with good vegetative growth. The summer followed the trend of low temperatures with more rain than normal. Overall, a cooler and wetter summer. Grapes ripened slowly and the harvest began a week later than usual. A vintage with abundant grapes, good acidity, contained alcohol content and perfect ripening. Long live 2021!
