Grape

Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah or Shiraz

Origin
Corbières is a quantitatively significant appellation in the Languedoc region of Southern France. Mourvèdre can be a tricky grape to ripen but the warmer areas of Corbières succeed with pleasing regularity.
Taste
Hot and dry summers in the 'garrigue' landscape of Corbières give this chunky red (made from 70% Mourvèdre plus Syrah and Grenache) a whiff of rosemary and thyme alongside the blackberry and plum fruits.
Enjoy
Elegant tannins make it more approachable than some Southern French reds.

    A great Languedoc wine

    If you like great body and spice and herbs flavours in your reds then this is one of the best wines you can buy for the money. The mouverdre provides a wonderful depth very much like the wines of La Garrigue and the Syrah adds the spice. If Majestic continue to sell this I will continue to buy it. Highly recommended

    Well balanced and complex.

    For the price this must be one of the best structured and complex Languedoc reds I have tried. Good acidity and smooth tannins give way to blackberry fruits with aromas of southern french herbs such as rosemary and thyme. Will go great with an aromatic meaty casserole.
