About the wine
Irresistible, luscious red from your winemaking star of Southern France
- This vibrant, silky-smooth red is an easy-sipping delight from the South of France, dripping with polished cherry and red fruit flavors and rounded off by a velvety finish that lasts and lasts.
- Your support gave Ben special access to world-class Syrah and Grenache grapes from the low-yielding hillside vineyards of Black Mountain in Southern France’s Minervois region. Your funding then let Ben ferment this lush red in concrete tanks and barrel-age it for ultimate smoothness and complexity.
- When you first open this juicy red, it may be too tempting to resist diving right in – but if you’re able to wait and let the wine air out for at least an hour, you’ll be rewarded tenfold with every lavish, fruity layer shining through to its fullest.
Best before
Enjoy this red as soon as it reaches your table, or feel free to let it age for up to 4 years for even more refined layers of flavor.
Serving advice
For best results, let this French red open up for at least an hour before diving in, and serve it at around 60ºF.
