- A silky Syrah with elegant aromas of violet, wild raspberry, and spice through to a fruity palate with great mineral freshness on the finish. Black olives and black fruit complemented by mineral freshness on the finish. Yields are kept low to ensure a good concentration of pure fruit flavours, and the fruit is hand-harvested at optimal maturity.
Before being pressed, the grapes were destemmed and macerated with selected yeasts for four weeks in a terracotta egg. The wine was then returned to the egg to finish fermentation. The ovoid shape sets the lees into perpetual motion, naturally accentuating the varietal aromas and minerality while requiring minimum intervention from the winemaker. Maturation lasted for nine months, resulting in elegant, fine tannins.
A silky Syrah with elegant aromas of violet, wild raspberry, and spice leads to a fruity palate with great mineral freshness on the finish.

| Winery | The Syrah grapes come from the Côtes Catalans, the principle IGP allowing only mono-varietal wines. The vines thrive at an altitude of 350 metres in the Maury terroir, located in the northern part of the Roussillon region. The climate is Mediterranean, strongly influenced by cooling coastal breezes combined with mountain freshness from the foothills of the Pyrenees, which balance the hot, arid summers. The soils comprise alluvial marls of the Roussillon plain, which imparts notes of garrigue and freshness. The vineyard is certified organic, and no herbicides or chemicals are used. Yields are kept low to ensure a good concentration of pure fruit flavours, and the fruit is hand-harvested at optimal maturity. |
