Description

ABOUT THE PRODUCER:
Timeless, classic design – Heraldique’s coat of arms symbolises a marriage of traditional southern grape varieties and modern winemaking skills. These are stunning blends, terroir-driven, showing vibrant and full flavours and demonstrating the potential of the Languedoc, one of the most exciting wine regions in the world, with a renewed sense of commitment from young winemakers.

ABOUT THE VINEYARD:
The fruit is sourced from carefully selected vineyards, most of which are located in the South of France. The area has a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild winters, with the majority of rainfall occurring during spring and autumn. Dry, continental winds from the north west bring cooling influences to the vineyards, which help to reduce disease pressure. This wind is interspersed with warm winds from the south, which bring moisture to the vines. Each vineyard site has its own terroir characteristics which add subtle complexity to the resulting wine.

THE WINEMAKING PROCESS:
The complex blend for this wine was put together at a winery source in the Languedoc, following a rigorous selection of tastings. Each grape variety was fermented separately with selected yeasts in temperature controlled stainless steel vats, then blended together at the winery in Pizay.

OUR TASTING NOTES:
A selection of typical southern French grapes combine in a rich, full-bodied and characterful blend full of ripe berried fruit and heady with the scent of garrigue.

GRAPE VARIETY:
Merlot 70%, Cabernet Franc 20%, Syrah 10%.
