Description
Wine
The first wine to be made by the Domaine back in 2014 even before it was inaugurated. A blend of 35% Grenache, 35% Carignan & 30% Cinsault with a low temperature fermentation and aged for 4 months in stainless steel before bottling. Very clear colour with a slight pink tint on appearance while very fruit forward on the nose. Fresh on the palate with white peaches and nice length. Ideal marriage with anything happening under the warm Mediterranean sun.
