PRODUCT OVERVIEW:
Mont Gravet is a tribute to the southern France terroir. Grown on south-exposed gentle slopes called “Mont,” the grapes benefit from the warm sun, while the mists from the Atlantic Ocean to the west and the Mediterranean Sea to the east bring cooler winds. The vines are grown on clay soils and rolled pebbles called “Gravet,” forcing the roots to go deep into the ground to find water, thus enhancing the wine’s elegance. Mont Gravet is a brand of tradition and authenticity that reflects the true potential of wines from the South of France and South West France. (winery notes)
Today's feature is an equal blend of grenache, syrah, and, mourvèdre sourced from vineyards outside of Areliers in Languedoc. The syrah is aged for 5 months in French oak, while the grenache and mourvèdre are aged on the lees in concrete tanks. Medium-to-full-bodied, this wine is ultra-smooth, with aromas and flavors of black cherries, black raspberries, and blackberries layered with notes of brambly earth, baking spices, and a whiff of black pepper on the long finish.
