Rotem and Mounir 'Inopia'

In 2018, this fine Cotes du Rhone Villages wine hails from France. Rotem & Mounier Saoma, a project in the Rhone Valley by renowned Burgundian producer Lucien Le Moine, bought a desolate land in 2011. They spent years cultivating 11 grape varieties at high planting density, resulting in low - yield but highly concentrated fruit. 'Inopia', which means 'made from nothing' in Latin, reflects both the once - empty fields and their minimalist winemaking style. This wine is soft yet fresh, bursting with rich flavors of baked apple, pear, biscuit, and chamomile. It's an ideal companion for veal fricassee, pasta alfredo, or classic roast poultry.

When it comes to using this wine, it's best served slightly chilled. Just pop it in the fridge for about an hour before serving. You can enjoy it on its own as an aperitif or pair it with the suggested dishes like veal fricassee, pasta alfredo, or classic roast poultry. For storage, keep it in a cool, dark place. Avoid direct sunlight and extreme temperatures as they can spoil the wine's flavor. And remember, once opened, try to finish it within a couple of days to enjoy its best taste.
