Wine
This wine is a unique blend of Merlot and Tempranillo, made without added sulfites.
It opens with vibrant aromas of crushed raspberries, wild strawberries, and a hint of cherry compote, lifted by a subtle note of dried herbs and liquorice. On the palate, it is juicy, fresh, and fruit-forward, with soft tannins and a lively acidity that makes it effortlessly drinkable. The mid-palate is supple and smooth, with a touch of spice and earthiness from the Tempranillo. The finish is clean, slightly savoury, and refreshing, encouraging another sip.
Serve slightly chilled (around 14°C). A perfect match for charcuterie, grilled meats, tapas, or even pizza. Ideal for relaxed, casual gatherings or as a vibrant wine by the glass.
Region
The Southern Rhône Valley is a renowned wine region located in the southeastern part of France. It is one of the most important wine-producing areas in the country and is famous for its diverse range of high-quality wines. The region stretches along the course of the Rhône River, covering several departments in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes regions.
IGP Méditerranée, also known as Indication Géographique Protégée (IGP) Méditerranée, is a wine appellation in the Mediterranean region of France. It is one of the many IGP designations in the country, which are part of the broader French wine classification system.
Climate & Terroir
The region experiences a Mediterranean climate with hot summers and mild winters. The proximity to the Mont Ventoux and the Mistral wind influence the local climate, helping to cool down the vineyards during the warm growing season and promote a healthy environment for the grapevines.
IGP Méditerranée benefits from diverse terroirs, including various soil types, altitudes, and exposures. The soils range from limestone, clay, and gravel to sandy and stony terrains. These variations in terroir contribute to the different styles of wines produced in the region.
The IGP Méditerranée appellation allows winemakers to experiment with different grape varieties and winemaking techniques, providing a platform for creativity and innovation while maintaining a connection to the unique terroir of the Mediterranean coast of France. The wines of IGP Méditerranée offer a delightful reflection of the sunny and coastal influences of the region.
Ideal drinking temperature 14°C.
