Languedoc-Roussillon, France

Carignan, Syrah, Marselan

Merging rusticity with elegance, this blend of 60% carignan, 35% syrah, and 5% marselan is a delightful bistro red. All grapes are grown in limestone and clay soils, destemmed and macerated for relatively short times (10 days for the carignan and 8 each for the syrah and marselan) before aging in fiber tanks. Bright red and black berries dance around a lively palate with accents of cracked black pepper, spice, and crushed herbs. A winning match with a variety of cuisines, this cuvée is succulent, savory, and satisfying without ever being overwhelming. Certified organic, biodynamically grown, low-intervention/natural wine.
