Savage Thief in the Night 2021
$60.00The Thief in the Night cuvee is a wine that increasingly pushes the solo message of premium Grenache despite still having minor blend components of 7.5% Syrah and 6.5% Cinsault, the ‘salt and pepper’ of the wine.

Stone fruits and citrus, a gentle pithiness and green olive squeeze to […]

The soils are of weathered granite, no doubt a defining feature for […]
