40% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 30% Mourvedre Colour: Deep garnet with purple highlights — dense and youthful. Nose: Ripe black cherry, blackberry compote and plum lead the way. Layers of garrigue (thyme, rosemary), cracked black pepper, liquorice root and a touch of cocoa. Subtle smoky mineral edge underneath. Palate: Full-bodied and powerful but polished. Concentrated dark fruit core with notes of kirsch, black olive tapenade and sweet spice. Tannins are firm yet rounded, typical of Rasteau’s warmth. Fresh acidity keeps it lifted despite the richness. Finish: Long, warming and savoury — dark fruit, spice and a hint of dried herbs lingering.
