Côtes du Roussillon

Grape variety

Syrah - Grenache - Carignan

Origin

The grapes for this wine hail from three of the Roussillon's famed terroirs: Montner (a temperate zone producing grapes that lend depth to the wine), Tautavel (a hot, dry terroir whose grapes add complexity) and Caramany (a cooler area with grapes that lend elegance).

Vinification

The grapes are handpicked. The Syrah and Grenache grapes are vinified traditionally while the Carignan undergoes whole bunch maceration.

Ageing

40% barrels (20% new oak) and 60% stainless steel tanks.

Tasting notes

Deep in colour with carmine hues. Aromas of raspberry, violet, liquorice and blackberry underscored by spicy notes. Full-bodied from the start with soft tannins. Long on the finish.

Wine and Food

Enjoy with grilled meats, poultry in puff pastry, and Mediterranean cuisine.

Serving suggestions

Serve at 17°C.
