La Lune Récolte - Vin d'Une Nuit 2021

The premise behind La Lune Recolte was to rediscover an old tradition of the Languedoc - a red wine made like a white. This style was created of old to be chilled down – a cold drink for the locals in the heat of summer, served in village bars. Our buyer, Mark, talked to the great team at Corbières Château Prat de Cest and this is the delicious result. Pure Syrah all from this premium appellation, but bottled so young it must be called Vin de France. Harvested in the cool night and the juice left on its skins for 12 hours, it's taken up lots of colour, then was fermented slowly to lend it deep ripe fruit. However, it's silky smooth with no sign of tannins, which makes it a joy to drink on its own, chilled even, or with meaty fish or pasta.
