This smooth & soft red wine is perfect for giving as a gift, both in terms of appearance and taste. Perfectly in the middle in terms of intensity. Heavy enough for lovers of full-bodied wines and light enough if you like light and fruity.
A sultry taste of dark fruit such as berries and blackberries, in combination with some spices and pepper. Light tannins and not too acidic. All this makes it particularly suitable for serving with not too spicy stews or pork.
The wine was made by Nicolas Vellas, the fourth generation of the winery in the Languedoc, which excels in special wines. A strict selection of grapes takes place for this wine, which are often grown on organic vineyards.
About the grape: Grenache is one of the most popular grapes in southern France, despite the fact that it originates in Spain, where the grape is called Garnacha. The grape has a high sugar content, which leads to sultry and soft wines with a high alcohol percentage. However, because the wine is very sensitive to air, it is best to drink these wines young.
The story behind the bottle: half of the lion on the label has turned into stone. This is due to the mythical figure Medusa, which is on the label of the Medusa Viognier from the same house (and is also for sale from us). In the Piazza della Signoria in Florence you can find the statues of the lion and Medusa next to each other.
