2021 Domaine des 2-Deux Anes 'Fontanilles,' Corbieres, France
$21.00
This is a pre-order item expected to arrive mid-May 2025.
Age of Vines: Ancient Vines
Yields: 30 hl/ha
Pruning Method: Gobelet
Soil: Deep red ancient Mediterranean rock interspersed with deposits of limestone
Varieties: 60% Carignan & a blend of Syrah & Grenache Noir
Vinification Method: The vines are hand-harvested & destemmed before they are pressed. A pigeage occurs & fermentation lasts two or three weeks. Only natural yeasts are used, and the wine is fermented and aged in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The wine is bottled without fining or filtration.
Tasting Note: A deep ruby in the glass with a light purple rim. The nose offers up pretty scents of crushed plums, Bing Cherry & a dusting of mineral-infused spice. The palate delivers many of the same fruits found on the nose with an added note of sweet herbs and bitter chocolate. Drinking beautifully upon release.
Pairing: Grilled chicken dishes, pork loin, grilled beef & lamb chops.
