Mas de Lavail, Tradition 2022
DESCRIPTION
Talk about an A+ student in concentrated aromas. Here, we've got hints of red berries and fine spices, with a liquorice finish. The tanins are velvety to the tongue. This wine is picked from vines with a very-low yield, and only once the grapes have fully matured and ripened. The Tradition 2022 is made up of 40% Syrah, 30% Grenache Noir and 30% Carignan. The perfect partner in crime for Mediterranean dishes and barbecues.
REGION
Languedoc-Roussillon
France
Languedoc-Roussillon is one of France's largest wine-growing regions, situated on the border with Spain. Its vast size is matched by a remarkable diversity of soils and terroirs, all bathed in a warm, sunny Mediterranean climate that is particularly favorable to vine-growing. This richness is also reflected in the grape varieties grown, ranging from Cabernet Sauvignon to Carignan for the reds, or Grenache Blanc to Bourboulenc for the whites, but Roussillon in particular is also distinguished by a historic and deeply local specialty: vins doux naturels (VDN). Made from grape varieties such as Grenache, Macabeu or Muscat, these wines are mutated with alcohol during fermentation to retain some of their natural sugars. Emblematic appellations such as Banyuls, Maury, Rivesaltes and Muscat de Rivesaltes offer an incredible range of styles, from the fruitiest to the most oxidative, perfect as aperitifs or with cheeses and desserts.
