From the producers:

APPELLATION
Pays de l’Hérault

PRESENTATION AND TERROIR
6 hectares of old Cinsault vines on our beautiful sandstone sites. The vines come from field selections conducted in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape region at the start of the 1960s.

VARIETAL RANGE
90% Cinsault, 10% Syrah

WINEMAKING AND AGEING
Red Fruit Défendu comes from a part of the vineyard where the grapes are smaller and more concentrated. The fruit is entirely destemmed and fermented in concrete tanks with pumping over and punching of the cap. Vatting duration is short, at 10-12 days, and all the grapes are picked by hand.

TASTING NOTES
The perfect complement to all grilled foods as well as white meats such as roast guinea fowl, rabbit with mustard and Normandy-style poultry or veal.
