The Atal Sia is grown on the pudding stone (over sandstone) terroir of Boutenac and is a lush confection of Carignan 45%; Grenache 25%; Mourvèdre 25% and a dollop of Syrah for poke. This is their top cuvee BUT with no oak here, yet this is still a deep and intense wine with black fruits, orange peel, spice and liquorice and a smooth, silky, almost sweet palate.
