Domaine de L'Ostal Cazes Estibals,Minervois 2022 0,75l

Estibals is the approachable cuvée of Domaine de L’Ostal from AOC Minervois, named after a parcel surrounding the estate’s finest vineyards. Syrah, grenache and carignan grown on warm, stony slopes provide the backbone for this rich, sun-drenched red. In the glass it shows a lively garnet hue and aromas of small red berries such as blackcurrant, raspberry and blueberry, lifted by thyme, rosemary and a touch of fresh liquorice. On the palate the wine is smooth, rounded and generous, with a harmonious balance of freshness, volume and dense yet silky tannins. Savory Mediterranean spice and discreet oak underline its Languedoc origins without masking the juicy fruit. A charming, food-friendly Minervois that suits pasta with meat sauces, barbecued meats, lamb chops or hearty vegetarian dishes.

A portion of the Syrah ages for 12 months in French barriques, adding subtle spice to the juicy fruit.
