Domaine de l'Ostal Estibals, Domaine de l'Ostal

Description
It takes its name from one of the domaine's finest parcels... ''Estibals''. Domaine de L'Ostal Estibals is made from a blend of the youngest vines that do not meet criteria for the Grand Vin of Domaine de L'Ostal. The blend is made up of 42% Syrah, 36% Carignan, 12% Grenache and 10% Mourvèdre.
This balance of grape varieties provides a perfect expression of the Minervois appellation. The wine is aged in French oak barrels for 12 months.
A rich, smooth and sun-drenched wine
With its deep red hue and violet glints, Domaine de L’Ostal Estibals offers notes of scrubland, morello cherries and red fruits. On the palate, the attack is full and smooth with well-marked tannins and a touch of oakiness.
