Description
The Languedoc region of France is a treasure trove of good-value, well-ripened red wines – and Clefs du Pontif is a perfect example. Perhaps not quite in the same league as Châteauneuf-du-Pape, but nevertheless a similarly juicy blend of Grenache and Syrah with ripe red fruit, wild herbs and spice and certainly without the hefty price tag!
The Languedoc’s warm, sunny Mediterranean climate and cooling coastal breezes create ideal conditions for slow, even ripening. The result is grapes with both great freshness and concentration of flavour. A sumptuous blend of Grenache and Syrah, this red wine bursts with juicy blackberry and raspberry fruit, ripe tannins, sweet spice and liquorice notes. With its soft, velvety texture, it’s a delight on its own, but shines even more alongside grilled red.
