Description

A pretty hue of rose petal. The nose is fresh, supported by exotic notes of cherry, strawberry and white stone fruit. The mouthfeel is round with a brisk and vibrant bite. A blend of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre.

An excellent aperitif or accompaniment to barbequed foods.

The stunning Château de la Négly is located 20 kilometres from Narbonne in the heart of the La Clape Mountains. Until the Gallo Roman period it was in fact an island and its clay/silt terroir and proximity to the sea results in distinctive and delicious styles of wine.

"Grenache Noir, Syrah, Carignan. Cool fermentation. Aged on lees for four months.
So much quinine salty-bitter minerality that the wine feels as if it is glittering and crunching like crystals in my mouth. Linear. Arrow focus. Peppery finish. Uncompromising, unflinching, but incredibly moreish. Super-appetising – I could imagine this with anchovies, or little breakfast radishes smeared with cold salted butter."
