2023 Mourvèdre
77% Mourvèdre, 12% Grenache Blanc, 6% Picpoul, 5% Roussanne
Earth-driven and untamed, the 2023 Mourvèdre captures the wild beauty of the mountain. Aromas of crushed herbs, dried violets, and black plum unfold over a core of shale minerality and savory spice. On the palate, it is firm yet lithe, with dark fruit—blackberry, fig, and mulberry—woven into a tapestry of smoked tea, peppercorn, and forest floor. Tannins are present but finely textured, balanced by the natural acidity of our high-altitude site. Built for age but striking in its youth, this is Mourvèdre with a sense of place—rugged, pure, and evocative.
Alcohol: 13.6% | pH: 3.64 | TA: 6.0 | Malic Acid: <0.05

Why High-Altitude Wines Stand Out?

Acidity
The large diurnal shift of mountains preserves acidity, allowing wines to age well and pair with food.

Minerality
Rugged, poor soils cultivate wines with a distinctive touch of minerality.

Bold Tannins
Strong ocean winds and UV rays account for thicker grape skins and bolder tannins in wine.

Complexity
Natural variability of terrain within blocks and micro-climates enhance blending process, helping to crafting wines with complexity.
