Effenus is latin for savage, wild or untamed. This wine is very expressive and shows an animal meatiness. Ruggabellus focuses on sensitive blends of old vine Syrah, Mataro, Grenache and Cinsault from great old vineyards with freshness and vitality always the key. Oak is never new. Additions are minimal.

Fresh aromas are vivid with sage, black pepper notes overlaid with blackberry. Silky and sappy elegance. A lasting finish of earth and clove spice, with a hint of chalky tannins and a prickle of peppery spice.
