The best wines this estate has produced in the modern era. (William Kelley)
Respecting the traditional style of Collioure and with its delicate farming in tapered tanks, Magenca is delicate and elegant with tannins present but melted.
A deep garnet-purple colour, with a meaty, earthy nose of plums and blackberries and hints of eucalyptus and aniseed. Light, mellow structure with an earthy finish.
Balanced on the palate, pleasant freshness, floral notes; pairs well with cheese.
Warm and fragrant vintage, notes of lime, hyacinth, grape. Robust wine, deep flavors, silky and noble tannins.
This vintage is outstanding for its display of well ripened fruit, fine, plump tannins, and a good freshness to ensure classic balance.
Elegant and round wine with well-balanced tannins; to be served with delicate and light food.
