Esprit de Silene Rouge 2015
Languedoc, Sud de France, FranceLes Domaines Paul Mas came into possession of the 57-hectare Domaine du Silène des Peyrals in December 2014. The vineyard sits along the Joncastre stream, in the municipality of Saint-Pons-de-Mauchiens adjacent to the vineyard of Château Paul Mas, Abbey Valmagne and Domain Peyre Rose in the Coteaux du Languedoc. The terroir is classic Mediterranean scrubland countryside, scented with garrigue and soils are gravel mixed with sandstone. Expect a fresh, earthy red with the scent of plums in this syrah, grenache, cinsault blend. The palate is dry with peppery red fruits, light tannins and tobacco. A perfect wine for mushroom dishes or spaghetti Bolognese.Tasted: 13 February 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $20.99 | 750ml | estimated retail |
