Made from a finely tuned blend of Grenache Gris and Grenache Blanc, with a small supporting cast of aromatic varieties, it captures the salty energy and sunlit character of Collioure in a wonderfully polished style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, this wine shows a bright, inviting colour and a lively, Mediterranean freshness. The nose is expressive and layered, with notes of wildflowers, stone fruit and dried fruit, lifted by a subtle seaside salinity that gives the wine real definition.\n\nThe palate is generous yet precise, with ripe fruit balanced by a mineral, saline edge and a refreshing sense of tension. It has a vivid, textured finish and enough structure to develop gracefully over the next few years, gaining additional complexity while remaining fresh and elegant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes come from old vines with an average age of around 70 years, rooted in the Armenn area between Banyuls and Port-Vendres, where the cooler influence of the Mediterranean allows for a long and even ripening period. The fruit is harvested by hand, and fermentation takes place spontaneously in cement tanks and used oak barrels. The wine is then aged sur lie in large, older oak casks to build texture and depth without overpowering the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is an excellent partner for grilled fish, shellfish and other Mediterranean seafood dishes, where its saline freshness and fruit-forward profile really shine. Serve it chilled at around 10-12°C, and decanting is generally not necessary, although a short aeration can help open up the wine if enjoyed young.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDomaine Vial-Magneres is a respected name in Collioure and Banyuls, known for working with old vines and for making wines that express the unique coastal terroir of Roussillon with clarity and finesse.
