Château Fontarèche Corbieres Old Vine Selection 2022

• Region: Languedoc-Roussillon
• Sub-Region: Corbières
• Varieties: Carignan, Syrah, Mourvèdre

Vineyard Sourced from the estate's oldest vineyard parcels, some of which feature Carignan vines over 60 years old. These deep-rooted vines struggle in the stony, sun-drenched soils, producing small yields of fruit with incredible depth and structural power.

Wine A robust and soulful red that reflects the rugged beauty of the Languedoc. It displays a deep ruby color and aromas of blackberries, wild herbs (garrigue), and smoked meat. The palate is full-bodied and richly textured, with ripe tannins and a long, savory finish.
