Origin:

This wine comes from the Pyrenees region in Victoria, Australia, an area known for its cooler climate and granite-rich soils. These conditions allow Grenache grapes to ripen slowly, preserving freshness while developing complexity. The collaboration between local vineyards and the expertise of Maison M. Chapoutier results in a wine that reflects both Old World finesse and New World vibrancy.
