Grapes: Old Vine Carignan & Syrah
From: S FRANCE, Languedoc-Roussillon (on the mediterranean)
Description
Cherries, plums and spices - smooth, lightly complex and restrained making it a good all rounder and an easy wine to transition from aperitif to meal. Also goes great with chocolate!

Fact:
There are no rules as to what defines an "old vine" as opposed to a "new vine" in France - in this case though they are 70 years old.
The name “Les Heretiques” comes from the cult of the Cathars who flourished in this region and had ties to the legend of the Holy Grail. They were labelled as heretics by the Roman Catholic Church and slaughtered at the massacre of Minereve.
Food Pairing:
Good with most things - the lightest of our wines by the glass so maybe veer towards the lighter meats and maybe grilled lamb - Merguez. |
