True to the Pebble Hill signature, this vintage opens with a vibrant nose of sweet spice, red fruit, and a touch of vanilla. The palate is juicy and fruit-forward, smooth and inviting, making it an ideal fireside companion and a natural partner for red meats. Mediterranean varieties in the blend bring lifted acidity and brightness, enhancing the wine’s energy and freshness. Beneath the plush fruit lies a coating structure that adds texture and elegance. The finish is lingering, with notes of blackcurrant and vanilla.

The grapes are hand-harvested, destemmed but not crushed. After sorting, the whole berries ferment in vessels for about 18 days. Following fermentation, the wine is pressed and moved to selected French oak barrels for malolactic fermentation and ageing. The blend is created during the first racking (at 6 months), with two more rackings during ageing to assess oak influence before bottling.
