Pasta dishes with pancetta and tomato-based sauces. Grilled chicken with Mediterranean vegetables. Roast beef or lamb with a delicious reduction. Or simply enjoy this wine with a charcuterie board of pâtés, terrines & a selection of cured meats.

Windy periods during ripening resulted in smaller berries, which lead to a good concentration of both colour and flavour. Summer temperatures were moderate ensuring slow even ripening of grapes, which resulted in wonderfully balanced & well-developed ripe fruit.

Barrel matured for 12 months in French oak barrels.
