This ARTISTE blend features a harmonious marriage of Grenache, Mencia, and Syrah grapes. While the origin and specific appellation are unknown, each varietal brings its unique character to this wine. With its robust Grenache contributing depth and complexity, the elegant Mencia offers red fruit, floral lift, and mineral tension, while Syrah adds layers of dark fruit and savory notes. Expect a medium-bodied wine with fresh acidity and moderate tannin, perfect for pairing with a variety of dishes including roast pork, lamb, mushrooms, and grilled vegetables.
