Punkahontas 2023
Here, Syrah breaks free from convention. Grown on clay-limestone soil in Saint-Chinian, Punkahontas is vinified using carbonic maceration and aged for 18 months in barrels. The result is a rebellious yet silky wine, bursting with vibrant dark fruit and a touch of spice on the finish. A free-spirited Syrah that doesn't seek extraction or showmanship, but rather dynamism, fluidity, and a true identity. Best enjoyed slightly chilled.

Karaktär
Rebellious yet silky with vibrant dark fruit and spicy tones on the finish. Gently powdery on the nose — far from the typical peppery southern Syrah style. More fresh, fine and elegant. Broad on the palate with beautiful structure and a lightly saline finish that adds complexity and freshness.
