Faim de Loup Syrah

Description

Pour Le Vin (which translates to "for wine") is a project we love at WineCollective, and we're thrilled to have another of their fantastic releases as a member exclusive! Using long-standing relationships with quality-minded grapegrowers in some of the best regions in southern France, they produce an eye-catching range of delicious wines that won't break the bank. The latest example is this Syrah from Languedoc, called Faim de Loup ("hungry like the wolf"). Syrah thrives in this part of France thanks to ample sunshine and long, hot summers. Sourced from 40-year old vines planted in sandy soils in the subregion of Aude, Faim de Loup is entirely unoaked to allow the fruit (and Syrah's distinct peppery spice) to shine. After harvest, grapes are destemmed and fermented in stainless steel tanks. The finished wine is juicy and vibrant, perfect for pairing with hearty winter meals. It's a wine meant for early enjoyment, so serve over the next 2-3 years at about 18 C.

Pairing

Pair this approachable red with hearty, warming classics like white bean and Toulousse sausage stew, or match with a lentil and winter vegetable soup.
