Pure red fruit, nice acid level, very sexy wine. Boatloads of funky sediment but i don't mind 😎

Old vines, a deft winemaking hand & a couple concrete eggs (love concrete fermenters!) can make a Grenache-hater like me come around.

Thought this might finally be the wine that changed my mind on Grenache. Nope. Well made & better than most, though.

Brilliant unfiltered and unfined Grenache. Blast of red fruit with integrated alcohol. Worth every penny.

Fresh herbs on the nose, strawberry and raspberry on the first taste, and a hint of dry cocoa on the finish. Lively, bright, and balanced.

Visions of the divine. @Pax Mahle expression of grenache lingers, mille-feuille like experience.

Excellent. Amazing intensity without density or high alcohol. Wish there was more Grenache like this.
