Cabernet 60% Syrah 40%
The uniquely French concept of 'terroirs' or classifieds oils ensures low yields of intensely flavoured grapes.
Laurent Miquel, a talented young winemaker, hand selects the best Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah (Shiraz) grapes from his family estate near Beziers in the South of France.
He crafts this premium blend as a testament to the unique 'terroir' to reveal ripe berry flavours and elegant tannins. Enjoy with dishes such as roast lamb, duck and vegetable ragout.
Tasting notes :
A very complementary blend of well structured Cabernet and elegant Syrah this wine offers a vibrant berry nose, with hints of licorice and spices. The palate is rich with several layers of flavour with ripe plum and red berry and soft rounded tannins.
Press excerpts:
Ripe fruity red, its got plenty of concentration and the pure fruit is enlivened by some savoury and spicy notes. This is thoroughly drinkable, at a great price.

Monsieur Miquel prizes not just the Languedoc’s Viognier grapes, but its Syrah too, which explains why this delicious, dual-varietal, dusky, scented, soft red fruit-packed red is so good.
