Blend: 70% Grenache, 25% Syrah, 5% Mourvedre
Domaine de Berane’s vineyard is situated in the village of Mormoiron at an elevation of 350 meters and with south-east exposure. The vineyard is composed of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvedre. The domaine works according to the principles of organic farming.
The cuvee “Agapes” takes its name from the biblical word connoting a meal taken after work and it is indeed a lovely wine to have after a day’s work. The wine is a blend of 70% Grenache from 50-year-old vines, 25% Syrah and 5% Mourvedre. The wine is fermented in cement tanks using indigenous yeasts. The Grenache and Mourvedre are matured in tank while the Syrah are matured partly in tank and partly in barrel.
Taste: Racy on the palate. With aromas of undergrowth, cocoa, cinnamon, black currants, dark cherries, dark chocolate, leather, spices including burnt sugar, olive, blonde tobacco, truffle, violet, and old wood. Most of these are aromatic notes, but on the palate is a fresh taste of spring.
