Tasting Notes

A unique personality in the glass

Savory, smoky, and floral by turns — then unmistakably Teran on the palate.

🔴

Appearance

Dense, deep ruby red with a faint purple reflection hinting at the character within.

🔥

Nose

A whisper of coal smoke and savory charcuterie opens into raspberry fruit, violet florals, and the peppery, herbal scent of Mediterranean maquis.

🍇

Palate

Undeniably Teran — fresh, fruity, lightly tannic, and dangerously drinkable, expressing its identity with confidence.
