Syrah-rich southern French red from highly reputed cellars in France's sun-soaked Midi - easy drinking excellence and a real taste of 'terroir' courtesy of low yielding vines nestled in the foothills of the Montagne Noir.
Minervois is the mountainous region between Carcassonne and Béziers, and is “home to lots of undiscovered gems” (The Times) – not surprisingly it has a large devoted following.
Deep ruby red, intense berry fruit aromas and well-rounded, juicy cassis flavour with a peppery edge ... soft enough to drink on its own, enjoy it with cheese and game too.
