Details
Les Talandières focus on several regions within the broad, sprawling Languedoc wine region. This Grenache blend has been sourced from the Mediterranee sub-region, which you guessed it, is in the Mediterranean. This blend has some Syrah and Carignan added in which gives the wine some bright purple colour, upfront fruit and trademark pepper from the Syrah. This is your ideal Grenache blend with spice and all things nice.

Origin: Aragon, Spain. Mainly Grown In: France, Spain, Italy, USA, Australia and South Africa. Key Facts: Grenache is a life-of-the-party kind of grape — fun, fruity, and charismatic with a spicy pep to its feet and an inviting warmth of approachability. And, despite its Spanish origin and well-established 19th-century home in France (where it so happened to be the Pope’s wine of choice) the world's oldest continuously producing Grenache vines are actually in Australia. Grenache is lighter in body and softer in tannin than many other red grapes which is why it is both so easy to drink on its own and why it's teamed up to make blends with other grapes that may need a friendlier touch to soften up them up and chill out their bold, up-tight and tannic tendencies. Fun Fact: A Pope (Clemens V in case you're the curious type) loved this blend so much that the most iconic GSM making region is called Châteauneuf-du-Pape, which means the ‘Pope’s New Castle’. You better believe there was a lot of GSM flowing here.

Pairing guide
Revel in the flavours of the Mediterranean with this delicious Grenache blend, which perfectly encapsulates all the plush juiciness we love so much about this red wine style. When it comes to food pairing, you’ll do well to match this bottle with a homemade ratatouille, a generous portion of beef, duck or vegetable ragu with pasta or polenta, or even curried beetroot and lentil dishes. Roast poultry, stews like cassoulet and goulash, and Moroccan tagine will also work a treat here.
