Dark Cherry, Herbal, Spice

Languedoc /  Red / Malbec, Syrah, Cabernet Franc / Organic 

Hildegard’s red is produced from the cooler terroirs of Assignan in the St-Chinian appellation. 100% destalked, the grapes are lightly crushed, cuvaison in stainless steel vat for 25 days with pumping-over. Press wine is blended with free-run juice, ageing for 10 months in stainless steel. Easy Drinking & very charming. Red's from Langedoc so often punch well above their weight.

Notes on the producer

Hildegard originates from Switzerland where she used to work as a restorer to old monuments. She first visited Languedoc during the seventies with her first husband and fell in love with the domaine, La Grange de Quatre Sous, located on a limestone plateau above Assignan in the Montagne Noire, where vineyards qualify for the St Chinian appellation.The place was almost abandoned, and a lot of work needed to be done. After renovating the buildings, they decided to replant the vineyards in 1983. Farming at La Grange de Quatre Sous has always been sustainable, and the official organic certification came in 1999. From the start, she has chosen to work with grape varieties outside the AC, notably with the unique and extremely rare petite arvine white grape, arguably Switzerland’s finest variety. Her red wine Garsinde is made with a good proportion of malbec, a grape that thrives in a hot climate
