A Syrah-dominant blend (hence the S in the name) from volcanic soil. The wine has a juicy character, but retains a fine sense of structure that comes from old vines. There’s a wood element underlining the black fig and blackberry flavors.

Based on old Carignan vines, this ripe, fruity wine is full of great barbecue-wine flavors. It’s bold and juicy, with some dusty tannins and fresh red fruits on the finish.

Heady, perfumed aromas give this wine an exotic character. The fruit is rich, well concentrated, touched by apricots but perfumed and soft.
