Ornière 2022

A fabulously floaty infusion-style wine, showing the diminished tannic structure, pure fruit character and openness of aroma that can be achieved with this restrained method. Fragrant with fresh strawberries and dusty anise, the body of the wine is rounded and gravity-defying, the lightly confected red fruits and spices taking on a pillowy, compote-like quality with a dust of herby liquorice.

Carry Carry 2023

Fatim's entry-point red, conversely coming from some of her oldest vines of Carignan at 80 years of age. Less finessed and more raw than her other wines, this is true vin de table in a more edgy, 'rock n' roll' style - rustic, sanguine juice to quench a thirst. Find out more.
