- A smooth and generous red blend with soft tannins and fruity notes of wild berries layered with aromatic notes of violet, liquorice and olives.
The grapes underwent traditional vinification, with maceration taking place in concrete tanks to gently extract the fruit flavours, colour and fine, elegant tannins. Fermentation took place with wild yeasts, the wine underwent light, daily punching down of the cap to ensure the desired level of extraction. The vinification time lasted for 20 to 25 days. The wine was aged for 12 months in 600 litre French oak barrels.
A rich and opulent blend with notes of black cherry, layered with fig and spice. Beautiful balance on the palate sees ripe tannins underpinned by mineral freshness through to a deliciously long finish.

Winery | The Domaine Gardies vineyards nestle in the foothills of Corbieres. The vines are grown in the old plots on the Genegals, in clay-limestone soil, located on the heights of Vingrau. This is where the 75-year-old red vines flourish and produce low 25hl/ha of concentrated juice yields. The climate is Mediterranean, with the hot, arid summers encouraging the vines to struggle and send their roots deep into the soil in search of nutrients, resulting in complex wines. The region is characterised by the eight different types of wind that blow across the wine-growing area, and one day out of three, the mighty Tramontane, a dominating northerly wind, sweeps through the region. These drying winds help keep vineyards healthy, reducing the need for pest control or other human intervention. Domaine Gardiés is certified organic, the vines are hand-harvested, and biodiversity in the vineyard is encouraged. |
