Aromatically it shows bright red cherry, wild strawberry and raspberry, with a lifted floral tone and a subtle herbal edge typical of Grenache from the Languedoc garrigue. On the palate it is juicy and supple, driven by soft, fluid Grenache fruit rather than structure, with a light frame, gentle tannins and a sappy, almost crunchy red berry core.

Aramon is a historic Languedoc grape once widely planted for its productivity; it is naturally high yielding, very light in colour and tannin, and prized here for its bright acidity, low alcohol and fresh, almost wild red-fruit profile.
