Structured, colourful reds with a dark ruby hue, firm tannins and a dense palate, with signature aromas of black fruits (blackberry, blackcurrant), plum, sloe (hence its name), black cherry, spices and balsamic notes. Fine ageing potential. Once nearly extinct, rediscovered and preserved for its genetic value: biological parent of malbec. Grown by a handful of Gaillac winemakers in Gaillac AOC. Native French variety from the South-West, ancestral identity.
