About the wine
Bold, vibrant red from your Southern France superstar
- With a mouthful of dark flavors like brambly blackberry, ripe blueberry and juicy cherry, this silky-smooth French red is a world-class crowdpleaser.
- When you gave Ben the opportunity to craft this from a parcel of precious old-vine Grenache and Syrah nestled in the foothills of the Pyrénées, he jumped for joy. Magnifique!
- The region of Maury is famous for its sweet, fortified wines, but Ben will win you over with this lesser-known dry red from the region's old vines – a mind-bogglingly delicious wine perfect for BBQ, grilling and stews.
