Red Wine
Piemonte and Roussillon are two of the most renowned regions for dry red wine in the world; Piemonte for many centuries, and Roussillon part of a newer wave of wine appreciation. While some Piemontese reds are dark and powerful, the majority are transparent, fragrant and welcome at the table with many dishes. Roussillon reds span a wide range of intensities, but the dark, mineral, age-worthy wines of Domaine du Mas Blanc in Collioure are classic examples.

13.5% ABV
Murgas Touriga Franca DOC Lisboa is made from the grapes of the Arneiro vineyard, in Bucelas, in calcareous soils on a slope exposed to the west. Ruby in color, it shows aromas of raspberries and fresh currants, wrapped in notes of pink pepper and woodsy mushrooms. The mouth is enveloping, with very soft but structuring tannins. It ends long and very serious, bringing together the attributes of the great red wines of the region. Full details

1ères soifs (premières soifs) means ‘first thirsts’. This ‘vin de soif’ is 100% organic, made with grapes hand-harvested by the Bourrel family on their old-vine Carginan parcel, Les Flamands. Grown at altitude on the far western flank of the Agly Valley in Roussillon, the combination of warm days and cool nights give the wine its fresh, bright fruit and exuberant character, while its rocky schist soils lend depth and complexity.
