New to wine?
A juicy, easy-drinking red that's the perfect gateway into Elian Da Ros's biodynamic world — fresh, fruity, and never intimidating.
Food Pairings
Perfect as an aperitif, and equally at home with grilled beef, charcuterie boards, and roasted meats. Its bright red-fruit character also matches yakitori and other simply grilled Japanese dishes.
When to drink it
Great for casual get-togethers, aperitif hour with friends, or as an easy weeknight red with grilled meats.
Terroir & Winemaking
The Merlot and Cabernet Franc are destemmed and fermented in open concrete vats for 10-15 days with gentle extraction, while the Abouriou undergoes whole-cluster semi-carbonic maceration. The wine is aged for about 10 months in large wooden vats and foudres, plus a further month in concrete tanks before bottling. The grapes have been sourced since 2007 from a trusted neighboring grower who farms to Elian Da Ros's strict specifications, exclusively for this cuvée.
