Product Description
This 2019 red blend hails from Cotes du Roussillon, France. It's composed of 45% Grenache, 30% Syrah, and 25% Carignan. 40% of the grapes come from the estate's vineyards on foothills and mid - slope terraces, while the rest are bought from local growers. The 'Altitudes' wine is made from grapes grown near the Mediterranean Sea, just 25 miles from the eastern Spanish border. Despite the warm climate, the altitude of 600 feet gives the wine a lovely mineral finish that offsets its ripeness. This young, un - oaked blend combines three local grape varieties. The 25% old - vine Carignan (40 - 50 years) adds spiciness and dry herb notes, 45% Grenache brings fruitiness and roundness, and 30% Syrah provides structure and a beautiful purple color. Pair it with Mediterranean dishes, duck breast, or grilled red meat.
When it comes to using this wine, it's best served at a slightly cooler room temperature, around 60 - 64°F. Pour it into a wide - bowl wine glass to allow it to breathe and release its full aroma. As for food pairings, as mentioned, it goes great with Mediterranean cuisine, duck breast, or grilled red meat. You can also try it with some spicy Spanish tapas for an extra flavor kick. When storing, keep it in a cool, dark place. Avoid direct sunlight and extreme temperature changes, as these can affect the wine's quality. And remember, once opened, it's best to finish it within a few days, or you can use a wine preserver to keep it fresh for a bit longer.
