They use very little sulphur and are proponents of sustainable farming. Blackberries, flowers and spice aromas intoxicate while the palate exhibits blackberries, black cherry, and garrigue. The finish is spicy, perfumed, and very long lasting. Pair with grilled, roasted or stewed meat, sausages or roast pork with mushrooms.
