Domaine Montirius 'Garrigues'

The 2020 Domaine Montirius 'Garrigues' is a remarkable wine. It's a blend of 70% Grenache and 30% Syrah, hailing from the Vacqueyras sub - appellation in France. In 1996, the small, family - run Montirius was the first winery in the Southern Rhone to get biodynamic certification. What sets Vacqueyras apart are its diverse soil types and the herbal - infused flavors of these classic Rhone grapes. The name 'Garrigues' refers to the wild herbs in the area, and it perfectly matches the rosemary, thyme, and lavender aromas that leap from the glass. On the palate, you'll taste intense dark plum, blackberry compote, and blueberry notes, supported by smooth yet well - structured tannins. It pairs superbly with spicy sausage - stuffed peppers or grilled lamb chops.

To enjoy this Domaine Montirius 'Garrigues' wine, first, let it breathe for about 30 minutes to an hour before serving. Pour it into a wide - bowl wine glass to enhance the aroma experience. When it comes to food pairing, it goes great with spicy sausage - stuffed peppers or grilled lamb chops as mentioned. You can also try it with other grilled red meats. Store the wine in a cool, dark place with a consistent temperature. Once opened, keep the bottle in the refrigerator and try to finish it within 2 - 3 days to maintain its flavor.
