Indulge in the exquisite taste of this wine, crafted to perfection by Domaine la Soumade, which is famous for its small crop yields, the use of natural fertilizers, and the careful selection of hand-picked grapes. This excellent wine is primarily made from Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, and it is aged on stainless steel lees for 18 months before undergoing a light filtration process. Appealing aroma of black cherries and dark chocolate; soft and juicy on the palate with rich, mouth-filling texture. Powerful wine with low acidity and low tannins.
