Vineyard: Sandy & loam soil.

Vinification: Grapes blended after malolactic fermentation. Aged in concrete vats for one year. Not fined or filtered.

Reviews
An 80/20 blend of grenache and mourvedre raised entirely in concrete) Aromas of dark fruit compote, licorice, flowers and cracked pepper. Supple, juicy and spicy, with a restrained sweetness to the flavors of cherry,minerals, herbs and licorice. Turns spicier on the finish, with suave tannins adding shape and grip. Pretty serious for Gigondas.
