Tasting notes
Full bottle 1,279 g. Certified AB and Ecocert organic. Mostly Grenache and Syrah. A rather lovely, defiant-but-charming candied-tomato and chilli-jam sweetness and bite (although it is, of course, dry). Watermelon, bruised basil leaf, white pepper and wet gravel. The tannins tug ever so lightly, like a child's hand, taking you to show you something. Towards the end, the watermelon notes deepen, almost into pomegranate, and a seam of pomegranate-pith bitterness develops, curving the finish. (TC)

Vivid orange. Ripe red berries, orange pith, nectarine and a hint of lavender on the deeply perfumed nose. Silky, seamless and broad on the palate, offering juicy cherry, raspberry and blood orange flavors energized by an undercurrent of juicy acidity. Concentrated but lively as well, finishing long and smooth and leaving behind floral pastille, mineral and citrus pith notes. - Josh Raynolds
