Faire Saveur 2018 Grenache Rouge Pays d’Oc IGP, France

Description

France is a country with strong regional identities. Brittany is a whimsical, cold coastal dream, Alsace is an alpine playground, Paris is called “the city of light”, and southern France (Provence, Gascony, and more) is a food wonderland. The Faire Saveur Grenache Rouge comes from southern France and features the fresh flavors of the Mediterranean: dried herbs, jammy (but still dry) red fruit, and baking spices. The herbs, spices, and hints of dried rose allow it to pair with medium to heavy dishes like you would find in southern French cooking: roasted pork, venison, or love it too! It took home a Silver medal from the 2019 Sommelier Challenge.
