Selection

Wild berry fruit, desert sagebrush and dusty minerality define a rich, full-bodied profile. The blend combines thirty-five percent Cabernet Sauvignon, thirty percent Cabernet Franc, eighteen percent Merlot, twelve percent Malbec and five percent Syrah. Seventeen barrels were selected, with maturation largely in neutral French oak and five new barrels. Suave, polished texture and dense concentration support further ageing.

Black cherry, liquorice and dark plum are joined by scorched earth, dried herbs and spice. The palate is rich and generous, with black fruit, savoury tones and a sturdy tannin structure that brings a slightly chewy texture. Ten months in French oak barrels are part of the maturation, and the finish is long, ripe and savoury.

Equal parts Côt, Cabernet Franc and Pinot d’Aunis come from biodynamically farmed vineyards around Montrichard and Chissay-en-Touraine. Red fruit, faint minerality and pepper shape the profile, supported by medium tannins, bright acidity and moderate complexity. The blend carries good concentration and length, while the three varieties remain clearly integrated. Plenty of character completes the profile.

Ruchè gives a bright red colour with violet reflections. Rose, red fruit and pepper shape the aromatic profile. The palate is rich in fruit, soft and structured, with a long, characterful finish. The wine is made entirely from Ruchè and matured in stainless steel before controlled-temperature bottle ageing. Fruit comes from Castagnole Monferrato and Montemagno in Piedmont.

This light, fluid Trepat red comes from Conca de Barbera and organically and biodynamically farmed fruit. The wine is unsulphured and presented as natural. Pomegranate colour accompanies floral and fruity aromas, spice and blueberry. The palate is fresh, fruity and spicy, with a dry finish. The vines grow above four hundred metres and are more than fifty years old.

A vivid violet colour accompanies fresh floral character, red fruit and spice. The palate is soft and round, with rich texture, dark fruit, raspberry coulis, balsamic notes and a long finish. The blend is sixty-five percent Carignan, twenty-five percent Grenache and ten percent Pais. Its eighty-year-old, head-trained Melozal vineyard lies on an east-facing slope over granitic soils containing twelve to twenty-three percent clay.
