An elegant Rhone styled blend that shows a light touch by winemaker Anna Marie dos Remedios. The acid really shines here, lifting all of the flavors in this light bodied wine. Bright cherry, dusty minerality, tobacco leaf, orange blossom and orange zest aromas translate directly to flavors on the palate, with a long finish that leaves your mouth watering. Contains 42% Grenache, 33% Mourvedre and 25% Syrah, co-fermented on natural yeasts.
