Pyra first expresses itself with a distinctly fruity attack, on red berries. Then, the palate evolves between sweetness and tension, carried by smoky notes that quickly gain intensity. The woody, slightly earthy, and tannic finish extends the tasting with character. A frank, vibrant balance between the freshness of the fruit and the power of fire and earth.

Pyra's ingredients
Each ingredient is chosen for its connection to the land, its ability to tell a story.
This philosophy guides our selection of ingredients for Tempera; every bottle is a celebration of the earth.
Red fruits
A precise blend of blackcurrant, blueberry, and cherry. The blackcurrant brings a fruity intensity and a beautiful liveliness, the blueberry adds roundness and delicately woody notes, while the cherry balances the whole with its gourmet sweetness.
Assam Black Teas
Known for their intense malty and spicy flavours, these teas offer a smooth, tannic texture, with notes reminiscent of noble grains and wood. They are then smoked over pine fires, on suspended bamboo racks.
Malabar peppercorns
The aromatic quality of this black pepper is emblematic of the extraordinary terroir of Kerala, the origin of India's finest spices. The peppercorns are crushed to extract their earthy breadth without revealing too much of their pungency.
