Carignan 45%, Grenache 45% and Syrah 10%
Named after a game invented by the family children when they realized that thanks to the organic work in the vineyards, butterflies were multiplying in multitude.
50 plus year old Carignan and Grenache with a splash of Syrah from high altitude schist & gneiss soils. It possesses an intense magenta color and a nose of mixed berries, sour cherries and herbs with delicate floral and mineral notes. Juicy and concentrated on the palate, with silky tannin and excellent concentration and depth. Raised in 2 and 3 year old barrels for 12 months and bottled without filtration.
