Domaine du Somail Minervois Vin de Plume, 2020

Vineyard

The Minervois wine region boasts a rich tapestry woven from history, climate, and culture where vineyards flourish bathed in warm Mediterranean sunshine, tempered by cool northern winds. Steeped in Roman viticultural tradition, the land whispers stories of the past while the Occitan culture, vibrant and enduring, infuses the very essence of the place.

Vinification

The vinification process echoes the philosophy of the domain. Hand-picked grapes ensure quality, while natural fermentation with native yeasts unlocks authentic flavors. Temperature control is a gentle guide while minimal filtration before bottling ensures the wine remains untouched.

Tasting notes and Pairing

This complex red wine offers a captivating bouquet. Elegant florals like iris and violet mingle with rich almond and juicy cherry, accented by a touch of earthy intrigue. On the palate, it’s surprisingly light-bodied yet full-flavored, with hints of red fruit and spice dancing alongside soft tannins. The long, intense finish makes it a versatile pairing for everything from grilled meats or chocolate desserts.
