| Lovely floral aromas with notes of quince and red apple lead onto a really fresh and bright palate with delicate apple, pear and berry fruit notes, a light refreshing tang and very light tannins with a hint of spice on the finish. Considering this is a natural wine there is no 'funk' or aggressive acidity or tannins, everything is in balance and has been well put together. |
| | 80% Mourvèdre, with the balance being Carignan, Grenache and Cinsault. Mourvèdre forms the backbone of the wine which has a quite dizzying complexity on the nose where plump bramble and cassis notes mix up with earthy spice and sage. On the palate it's silky smooth with the fruitiness following through nicely with black pepper and soft spice flavours chipping in as well. |

Cabernet Franc is much under-rated and rarely cultivated outside its traditional habitats of Bordeaux and Loire.
The palate is incredibly long and very rich with fleshy fruit flavours counterbalanced by a bitter, woody, character and a thread of honey.
|
| | Fragrant aromas of violet, spice and a subtle menthol note are underpinned by ripe dark-berried fruit. Rich and complex, with concentrated inky fruits balanced by beautiful freshness through to an elegant finish. |

Domaine Montrose Chardonnay is a crisp and refreshing white wine that embodies the essence of the Languedoc region of France.

Le Fou' translates to 'The Madman,' as the notion of producing a Pinot Noir in the warmer Languedoc region was thought to be an impossible endeavour. However, the producers have proved everyone wrong with this delightful, fruit-filled Pinot.
Bright ruby red, with upfront aromas of freshly picked raspberries and an underlying savoury leesiness. Fleshy red fruits continue to the palate and are joined by fine tannins and juicy acidity.
