NV Verget du Sud Au Fil du Temps Rouge
Here we have a bistro style red for you - Oui Oui!!
Rather than an expression of vintage - this is a wine that focusses on a sense of place, over time, a blend better than the sum of it's part. Think like how they do this in Champagne. Warmer and cooler vintages are blended together to create a balanced, harmonious wine. As Bibendum writes:
'it’s a fragrant, supple, super juicy and gluggable provençal red packed with dark cherry, earth, garrigue, tapenade and subtle truffle notes. The mouthfeel is juicy and tender with loads of character, pure flavours and lovely freshness. Crafted with low sulphur, you might find a prickle of gas (natural CO2) that Guffens uses to preserve fruit aromas. Most importantly, it finishes cool and bright (it comes in below 13.5% alcohol). It’s a quirky, lip-smacking and superbly priced Guffens ‘creation’.'
