These wines were created by chef and River Cottage founder Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and Vincent Chansault, pioneering winemaker at Domaine Gayda in the Languedoc, France. The River Cottage range offers delicious, sustainable organic wines. It reflects a new, lighter style of winemaking and eco-friendly choices, including no foil and lighter bottles. The labels celebrate local birds, symbolising the estate's thriving biodiversity. A variety of plant cover crops between the vines and are constantly planting hedges surrounding the vineyards to protect us from the ravages of climate chaos.

Type & Grape: Red - 35% Grenache Noir, 35% Mourvèdre, 20% Syrah,10% Carignan.

Origin: Languedoc, France

Tasting notes: Expressive nose of black fruits, blackcurrant and blackberry, lifted by notes of cardamom and garrigue. Hints of fine leather and black cherry add depth.
On the palate, the attack is lively and fresh, the body then gaining breadth before a taut, fruit driven finish. Flavours of blackberry, pepper and leather intertwine elegantly.

Food Pairing: Hugh drinks it with sausage and lentil casserole, veg lasagne, cheese on toast, roast pork with crackling, barbecued lamb chops.
