Domaine Pierre Bories, Hippolyte Rouge 2023

Domaine Pierre Bories can date their winemaking heritage back to the 18th Century. Calling Corbières, in the Languedoc, home - today they farm 100% organically and focus on strengthening the biodiversity of their vineyards wherever possible. They firmly believe that their passion for organics and passion for winemaking shine through in the glass, and we're certainly inclined to agree. Hippolyte Rouge 2023 is named for Pierre's son and is made from an organic blend of Carignan, Grenache and Syrah. A nose of blackcurrant, ripe strawberry, raspberry, thyme, and pepper moves to a medium-bodied palate with smooth tannins and a good level of acidity. The fruitiness of the nose continues onto the palate and culminates in a lovely, long and velvety finish. A great wine to pair with a BBQ.
