Based in the southwestern Languedoc, in the Aude region, the 40 year old vines thrive on silty/sandy soil. These vines are cordon trained and harvesting takes place in late September. The Syrah grapes are de-stemmed and macerated in tank before being bottled. Faim de Loup means ""Hungry like a wolf"", and this is a wine for hearty foods and cozy nights in front of the fire. Think classic French casseroles, traditional roasts or grilled beef or lamb.
Nose: Enticing aromas of juicy cherry, plum and blackberry.
Palate: The palate is soft, succulent and spicy with mouthfuls of lush, ripe berry fruit flavours with a touch of coffee and spice and a note of violets on the finish.
