Monrouby Syrah-Carignan
A vibrant Red wine with spiced red fruit, supple tannins, and a versatile character
Monrouby Syrah-Carignan Pays d'Oc IGP, France, is a vibrant Red still dry wine crafted from Syrah and Carignan grapes. The winemaking involves 15-20 days of skin maceration and fermentation at controlled temperatures, with no oak used during maturation to preserve the pure fruit character. This results in a wine with a spiced red fruit character on the nose, leading to a palate of ripe fruit flavours balanced by lively acidity and supple, well-integrated tannins. It offers remarkable character for its price point and pairs wonderfully with grilled meats or rich pasta dishes. This wine is also suitable for vegans and vegetarians.

Vinification
The grapes were picked at the perfect level of maturity and, once at the winery, were macerated on the skins for 15-20 days to extract good levels of colour and flavours. Fermentation took place at controlled temperatures of between 20-23°C, which ensured that there was no over-extraction. No oak was used during maturation in order to retain the pure fruit characters of both varietals.
Flavour profile
