Clobanel Red South of France

Close your eyes and smell this wine; you'll feel like you're in the south of France. That's the best way to describe this red wine from Clobanel. A beautiful example of a wine from the "Sud de France" with all the beautiful characteristics of the region. Nestled in the heart of southern France, Clobanel's old vines are filled with Cinsault, Grenache, Carignan, and Syrah grapes. These four grape varieties thrive in the warm climate and provide the winemaker with a bountiful harvest. Harvesting at the right time is crucial for them. This is done individually for each grape variety, and the final wine is only blended later.

This is clearly reflected in the ripe and exceptionally smooth flavor of this red Clobanel.
