This is a deliciously sweet red wine. It is full-bodied & rich with intense flavours & aromas of dried red fruits, chocolate & coffee. Deep violet hue & intense fresh fruit aromas. Beautifully balanced on the palate blending cassis & strawberries with chocolate in a luxuriously rich finish. This sort of sweet, lightly fortified vin doux naturel red is much more commonplace in France as either an aperitif or to accompany fruit-based puddings of all kinds. From the town of Maury, close to the Pyrenees, the Grenache grapes deliver intense flavours of dark cherries, plums & cassis. But this is relatively light & elegant on the palate & so perfect for spring consumption.
