Carignan, “Noé”, Corbières Rouge

Carignan is susceptible to over-production, particularly when the vine is young, compromising quality. Working with Carignan, it is essential to control yields to insure quality, so old bushvines are a must, as is the case with this rare wine made exclusively from old-vines in Corbières. Remarkably distinguished at this level, with a deep color, acidity and plenty of tannins, the fruit is savory and herb-streaked. Named in tribute to Noah, the “first” planter of the vine in biblical narrative.
