Winemaker Óscar Salas Steinlen produces artful wines, deftly balancing elegant restraint and complexity with the full-bodied, fruity drive that wine drinkers love. This juicy Carignan is filled with red fruit flavours, with notes of red cherry and raspberry which are complemented by the earthier notes of cinnamon and star anise, synonymous with Carignan. It’s these notes that make it the perfect match for North African recipes such as lamb or root vegetable tagines.
