Notes

The 2022 vintage is composed of Mourvèdre with a kiss of Grenache. Scents of watermelon, strawberry, apricot and lemon yield to secondary notes of minerals and summer hay. The textures are soft, round and stony, showing flavors of melon and orange peel with suggestions of sea spray. The mouthfeel accelerates with fresh acidity into a quenching, citrusy finish.
