Villa Tempora, Le Demon du Midi, Pezenas, 2020

A very smart wine from the top 2020 vintage. 70% Syrah and 30% Grenache from basalt soils, aged in amphora and demi-muid. Pretty fruits-of-the-forest nose with wild thyme, warm earth and spice on the palate. Full-bodied and full-flavoured yet... Read More

Languedoc-Roussillon

There’s something very complete about our annual offer of wines from the Languedoc and Roussillon: with whites, rosés and reds, and wonderful fortified wines, the Vins Doux Naturels which are such a speciality of the region, there should be something for all tastes. Secondly, there are wines for every budget; at every level we believe these wines continue to offer terrific...

Grenache / Garnacha 

Grenache grows well in hot, dry regions, though it can develop very high (15 degrees+) alcohol.

As such it is grown principally in Southern France and Spain (as Garnacha). It is usually blended with other varieties in the Southern Rhône and Languedoc (Syrah, Mourvedre, Carignan, Cinsaut and others).

Its flavour usually encompasses the...

We get super excited when Jancis Robinson (or one of her team) write about our wine!

Villa Tempora, Le Demon du Midi, Pezenas, 2020

A very smart wine from the top 2020 vintage. 70% Syrah and 30% Grenache from basalt soils, aged in amphora and demi-muid. Pretty fruits-of-the-forest nose with wild thyme, warm earth and spice on the palate. Full-bodied and full-flavoured yet light on its feet. Unfined and unfiltered. Now-2028.

"You can taste the Syrah right away – meat and leather, dark chocolate and rosemary. Garrigue and earth. It's a swarthy cowboy of a wine that swaggers. Wears its tannins like thigh-high boots and a well-worn saddle. The kind of wine that demands slow-cooked ox cheeks or some kind of game stew." 16.5/20, Tamlyn Currin, jancisrobinson.com, December 2024

Great choice of good-value wines in the January sales. The website is really easy to use to make up an order. Delivery, as is often the case, was within 24 hours and, as usual, was well-packed.
