Deep ruby-plum red with a warm nose of blackberry, ripe strawberry, damson, and a flicker of baking spice. Soft, juicy and generous on the palate, with bright acidity cutting through the plush fruit and just enough peppery edge to keep things interesting. Smooth tannins and a long, persistent finish make it the kind of wine you savour — not just sip.

The Bories family at Ollieux Romanis farm rugged Corbières slopes where old-Carignan vines mingle with Grenache in limestone and schist soils. Their work here feels rooted: generous fruit that still shows grit, tradition with a relaxed attitude.
