Villa Blanche
A very dense garnet red. A nose of great expressivity with strawberry and cocoa, but also prune, violet and a touch of curry spice. In the mouth the tannins are supple, smooth, and harmonious. Blackcurrant notes precede mocha, coconut, mint and black pepper. Here we have the finest expression of a magnificent Syrah grown at altitude, which gives a wine that is both powerful but also very succulent and elegant.
