Sourced from the Starderi cru site, 230m above sea level. Blue tinted calcareous marl with a small amount of clay. The southwest-facing vines have an average age of 55 years and are farmed sustainably, with no use of pesticides or herbicides. Maceration and alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled vats for an average period of 14 days. Malolactic conversion takes place in French oak barrels, of which 20% are new and the remaining are second use. The wine is matured in barrel for 20 months. It is then bottle-aged for about eight months before release. The wine is light ruby red and shows hints of wild strawberries, pomegranate, cinnamon and petunias. It's fresh and elegant on the palate, with notes of citrus and spice. Good presence of well-structured tannins.
