The ‘Flying Solo’ range flies in the face of convention, shunning international varieties in favour of the typical Grenache grape which forms its backbone, blended with Syrah, Viognier or Cinsault respectively. It celebrates the intrepid Aéropostale pilots who risked life and limb to ensure postal services in the 1920s.
The intense purple color with violet highlights reveals beautiful depth and promises a generous vintage. The nose, rich and expressive, evokes blackcurrant syrup and blackberry jam, enriched with hints of blueberry and raspberry. Timut pepper brings a refined vegetal freshness, extended by nuances of fresh licorice and Zan candy. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and generous, supported by tannins that still provide structure, giving the wine depth and complexity. Dark fruits dominate the tasting experience before a lingering finish of licorice, offering a seductive balance between richness and herbal freshness.
