About the wine
Indulge in iconic, lip-smacking French red from the mastermind of the Minervois
- This luscious, rich blend of juicy Grenache with bold, sultry Syrah is a smooth French classic from your genius of Southern France. It’s flush with mouth-filling red fruit flavors that seem to linger practically forever on a lush, long-lasting finish.
- Thanks to Angel funding, Ben was able to select top-notch grapes from low-yielding old vines along the ridges of Roussillon – halfway between the coast and the Spanish border. It's seriously sought-after fruit and your support gives Ben special access to it!
- To make the most of this blend, Ben recommends decanting it for 1-2 hours before drinking – give this wine a little time to breathe, and oof. C'est fantastique.
Best before
This wine will age well for up to about 2 years.
Serving advice
Serve at around 60º F.
Food match
For best results, try pairing this sultry red with a home-cooked meal of lentils. Ben's wife even has a recipe you can use: https://thevigneronswife.wordpress.com/2012/09/28/simple-country-lentils/
Contains sulphites
