Description
In a nutshell:
A delicious, dark and savoury, fruit filled red blend from St-Jean de Minervois in the Languedoc.
The lowdown:
Only made in small quantities, this organic red blend contains at least 7 varieties featuring Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan, Grenache, Terret Gris and Mourvedre and give modern, minerally and fresh take on an old school field blend wine. Aged only in tank, no oak is used here, it's crunchy and vibrant with ripe dark fruits with touches of savouriness coming through mid-palate and hints of spice giving an extra bit of interest on the finish.
The Producer:
Clos du Gravillas a fantastic little domaine based in the hamlet of Saint-Jean de Minervois, deep in the Languedoc. Founded in the 1990s and run by local girl Nicole Bojanowski and her American husband John on completely organic principles they produce wines "that talk and help make magic moments with friends sat around a table". Their landscape is rough and rugged 'garrigue', so is great for vines. And with the vineyards on 300m high slopes the cool evening breezes help the fruit retain its natural acidity while hot summer days build good structure and depth. In some ways the domaine is a bit old school, growing tiny parcels of 15 different varieties, quite a few of which have been there a lifetime. As a result they turn out a number of different wines all of them small production and full of interest.
When to drink:
Just the sort of thing to drink by the glassful with a plate of charcuterie.
Suitable for Vegans, Organic
