Le Caveau Wine Merchants - Les Bardets Rouge, Labastide De Levis - Gaillac Region, South-West France

This bistrot-style wine is a blend of local varieties Braucol (Fer Servadou), Duras with Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Deep garnet-red colour. Aromas of ripe black fruit, notably redcurrant and blackberry. On the palate, the wine is well-rounded, with an expressive, fruity character. Soft tannins, ripe black fruit flavours.

Destemmed, macerated for 3 weeks with gentle extraction, aged for 10 months in concrete tanks, bottled unfiltered and unfined.

The wine is part of 'Terroirs Project', a cooperation between local vignerons and Les Caves de Pyrene. The aim is to produce honest wines from plots farmed organically, with minimal intervention in the winery and coming out to the public at democratic prices.
