    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Elpidios is the red answer to the Aristargos white blend. A Mediterranean blend comprised in 2022 of 61% Grenache Noir, 34% Syrah, 3% Carignan, 1% Cinsault and 1% Pinotage. Predominantly from granitic vineyards with an average of 40% whole cluster, the wine was raised in a combination of 500L used French oak, concrete and large 4,100L foudres. It is always released after 18 months in bottle.

    Neal Martin,
    Vinous
    The 2022 Elpidios contains the highest percentage of Grenache thus far. This has a glorious bouquet of ebullient red cherries, cranberry and rooibos scents intermixed with red brick aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannins. It’s beautifully balanced, with fine tension and a very refined finish that lingers in the mouth. This is a must-buy from David and Nadia Sadie.
