Tasting Notes
Assemblage is a blend of Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet and Grenache. Deep ruby red in colour with a nose of crushed red berries and mediterranean spices. The palate is soft and juicy, very evocative of the region with the wild garrigue character shining through complementing blackberries, cassis and liquorice.
