Blanville Haut-Blanville Horus 2018
Languedoc, Sud de France, FranceChâteau Haut-Blanville is a family-owned wine estate founded in 1997 by Béatrice & Bernard Nivollet. Their goal was to find unique vineyard sites and produce single parcel, low-intervention wines when most of the local wineries were producing volume and bulk. They now own 70ha of organically farmed vineyards, and make a range of single site wines, as well as regional blends like this. Horus blends syrah and grenache into this ripe, sun-fuelled red, with baked cherry, perfumed raspberry, and ample scrubby Mediterranean herbs. Tannins are sticky and ample, though acidity is moderate, making this a natural pairing for grilled sausages / veg kabobs.Tasted: 18 January 2024Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:ON | $23.00 | 750ml | consignment |
