echevin red
VARIETIES
90% Syrah / 10% Grenache.
VINES
North-facing and surrounded by woodland, at 400 metres altitude.
VINIFICATION & AGEING
The partly destemmed crop is crushed then gravity-fed into vats. Half is aged in a small concrete vat; and half in demi-muid barrels. The wine decides for how long; 15 months is the average.
TASTING NOTES
Exceptional soils yield a masculine, complex character. A deep ruby colour, and peppery concentrated flavours in a delightfully rounded style. Bursting with fruit and moreishly fat and full-bodied, yet fresh on the finish.
