🍇100% Lledoner Pelut

Notes of dark fruits with brandy and cooked fruit. The very long finish then extends with notes of sweet and animal spice. The wine has been aged in wood and glass-bobonne, which has tamed the tannins to refine and integrate them into the powerful frame of this wine. Enjoy with roast beef, game or slow-cooked meats.

Lledoner Pelut, also known as 'Hairy Grenache', is known for its distinctive appearance with its hairy leaves and clusters of small, dark-skinned berries. This grape variety is highly prized for its ability to produce wines with intense flavors and aromas. The wines made from Lledoner Pelut grapes are often described as full-bodied and rich with notes of dark fruits such as blackberries and black cherries. They also exhibit hints of spices, such as black pepper and cloves, which add complexity to the overall flavor profile.

La Cave aux Fioles, located in Rivesaltes north of Perpignan, is a small organic estate run by winemaker Carlos Badia, who offers an exclusive production of natural and artisanal wines. The cellar is located in an old chapel (14th century), which allows him to vinify cuvées that are authentic and without unnecessary additives.
