Description:
A small pretty Mediterranean seaside village just north of the Franco-Spanish border, Collioure is considered to have some of the finest wines in the south of France, an unsurprising fact when you realise that its yields are some of the lowest in France. Made predominantly from Grenache Noir, the region's schist soils compare to those of the Douro in Portugal and by law the grapes harvested for Banyuls must contain 254 grams of sugar per litre. The hand-selected grapes are then destemmed, fermentation is stopped by addition of grape brandy and the wine continues to macerate on the skins for a further three weeks before being aged in tanks. Showing summer pudding and mocha flavours as well as dried herbs, prune and caramel this is a well made wine. Available in 50 cl bottles. (12 x 50 cl)
