About the wine
Old-Vine Carignan from the South of France
-
This lavish Languedoc red is drenched in full-powered juicy flavors of raspberry, with a backbone of spice and a velvety finish that’s simply irresistible.
-
Your support helped Ben track down some of Southern France’s finest Carignan – growing in a single vineyard lined with heritage 70-year-old vines – and helped him give this red a luxurious rest in fine French oak.
-
These old vines are super low yielding, which means Ben could only harvest enough fruit to make a few hundred cases of this robust red. Make sure you scoop a bottle up for yourself while there are still a few to be had.
Best before
This will age up to 10 years.
Serving advice
Decant and serve cooler than room temperature.
