110 year old carignan on its own roots and a 80 year old grenache vineyard as well. They had the core vineyard that they wanted to do something with. Picked a month and a half before all the rest and whole cluster and about 1 horu of skin contact.
A high layer of smoke this vintage because of the fires. Which made it cooler than normal so all of the wines are apparently lighter than they should / could be.
THis smells great to me though. lean and crispy. Watermelon rind in a really nice way.
