Description
Bastide 2024 – Minervois Red
Bottle price: €11.50
A bright ribbon flows from the bottle’s neck — the violet shimmer of Bastide heralds the time of wine: youthful, close to the fruit, a wine of the moment.
A faithful companion to spontaneous cooking, it plays with its already mellow tannins, flecked with aromas of wild sloes.
Its lively boldness finds its place at both humble snacks and generous feasts among friends.
This is the wine that celebrates the allegorical meals of harvests saved.

GRAPE VARIETIES: Carignan, Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah.
VITICULTURE: Biodynamic and agroecological farming with cover crops, gentle pruning, debudding, vine braiding, and treatments based on plants, herbal teas, fermented extracts, sulfur, essential oils, and just a touch of copper (total over 5 years: 4 kg).

TASTING NOTES:
Pale red color, bright with subtle violet hues. The nose evokes its Carignan origins — fruit-driven, echoed on the palate where fresh red fruits dominate, carried by a refreshing liveliness.
A perfect wine for every occasion — from aperitifs to hearty meals.
