2015 Domaine L'Ostal Cazes Estibals AOC Minervois

It takes its name from one of the domaine's finest parcels... ''Estibals''. L'Ostal Cazes Estibals is made from a blend of the youngest vines that do not meet criteria for the Grand Vin de L'Ostal Cazes. The blend is made up of 42% Syrah, 36% Carignan, 12% Grenache and 10% Mourvèdre.

This balance of grape varieties provides a perfect expression of the Minervois appellation. The wine is aged in French oak barrels for 12 months.

A rich, smooth and sun-drenched wine with its deep red hue and violet glints, L’Ostal Cazes Estibals offers notes of scrubland, morello cherries and red fruits. On the palate, the attack is full and smooth with well-marked tannins and a touch of oakiness.

The bronze disc on the label brings to mind the warm and sun-drenched character of wines from Minervois.
