AOP Minervois La Livinière
100% Grenache Noir

A sensuous, rich, velvety,  generous wine that seems to offer everything at a glance.  Under the  blood red robe are hidden all the tender secrets of Andalusia nights, a feria of aromas and spice, complex and alluring.  Aged in tank and bottle, no oak because the wine is already so complex! The winemaker says "Be patient with this beauty and in 5 or 10 years it’s a gypsy dream that you’ll see dancing under Seville moonlight in your glass."

AOP Minervois
100% Carignan

Heavenly complex aromas of black fruits, cherry, chocolate, and leather are the signatures of this single varietal wine from 90 year old, low yielding Carignan vines.  The tannins are soft but sturdy and the balance with the luscious fruit of the old vine produces a memorable and lovable red wine.  Time is the secret: old vines; waiting for the perfect moment of maturity to harvest; time in the cave with careful attention during fermentation; time in the barrel; and taking time with special friends to savor it all.
