A homage to the missionary brothers of the Holy Family.

The cellar walls have plenty of stories to tell, as do some of the inscriptions adorning the old casks in which they are matured. One such inscription reads ‘this wine gives us a foretaste of paradise!’

A powerful, elegant wine with black fruit, liquorice and spices, soft, velvety tannins and a long, lingering finish.
