THE STORY
A remarkably fresh and deep wine, with typical Rhône characteristics, great with Mediterranean food and rockfish.
THE VINTAGE
The vintage started with a long winter and one of the driest ones in the past years followed by an inexistent Spring. The crop development was very slow due to important climatic variations. The winemakers’ work was therefore crucial to get good quality grapes in small quantities. 2013 was a complicated vintage and late but is wonderfully balanced and is very promising.
