Description
High in the Catalan hills of southern France everything struggles to survive. In the picturesque village of Opoul, where everything is BIG – from the ruined castle to the champion local rugby team – the hot days and cool nights of 2006 produced a spectacularly flavoursome (but low) yield of Grenache and a magnificently opulent dark, luxuriously smooth wine.

Some of the ancient vines actually yielded fruit well over the 15% alcohol level and this has been especially vinified to make limited edition collectors’ Magnums – rechristened XVI – as these BIG bottles weigh in at an awesome 16%.
