Côtes de Provence Sainte Victoire Red AOP Mas de Cadenet 2017

A red wine from the Sainte Victoire sub-zone of Côtes de Provence, made from Syrah with a smaller share of Grenache. The grapes are hand-picked from vineyards farmed organically, where stony soils push the vines deep and give concentration to the bunches. Fermentation takes place in steel, followed by eight months in French oak barrels. The result is a dense, concentrated red, suited to grilled red meats and game in sauce. Deep ruby in colour, it shows intense aromas of black fruit, macerated flowers, aromatic herbs and refined spice. The palate is full-bodied, warm and enveloping, with mature tannins of rare finesse, and it finishes savoury and balsamic.
