'18 Château Vannières ‘Héritage’
Flat out fantastic juice! This is mountain wine with vineyards and castle ruins overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. A mere 2 miles from the Big Blue Sea, the winery is located in a region heralded for its audacious expressions of Grenache and Mourvedre grapes. It is a magical place of limestone soils, olive trees and a wind so strongly prominent it has its own name, The Mistral.
The Mediterranean's presence is important as it offers a great moderating effect on the vineyards with long, dry, sun-drenched, growing seasons. The organic, hand harvested grapes are big and ripe as they flourish in the exhausting persistence of The Mistral. The result is a wine of structure and finesse. There is boldness to this wine, yet that concentration dances and delights with elegance and grace. You want to try this wine, you need to try this wine; it will make you happy.
