Gerard Bertrand Heresie Red is a blend of Grenache Noir, Mourvedre, and Syrah grapes. These grapes are vinified separately using traditional methods. Syrah is aged for a period of time, revealing aromas of black fruit and spices, while Mourvedre adds licorice notes. The Grenache grapes are completely destemmed and macerated at a lower temperature for five days to allow the fruit to fully express itself. This creates roundness and elegance in the final blend.
The result is this beautiful, deep purple-red wine. The nose is wonderfully complex, revealing notes of red fruit and spices, creating a seductive aroma. On the palate, it offers a powerful yet beautifully balanced flavor. Wonderfully fresh and velvety tannins give this Heresie a wonderful harmony. This red wine pairs beautifully with a wide variety of cheeses.
