Banyuls Rouge Galateo, Coume del Mas
Description
50cl Bottle. Full-bodied, viscous and sumptious, offering up incredible notes of spiced plums, stewed blackberries, liquorice, vanilla, dark chocolate and earth. This wine is made from pure old vine Grenache grown on prime sites near the sea. The cooling winds accentuate the fruit character in the wines, which is fortified on skins to reduce oxidation. The wine is aged in oak cask for a minimum of six months before bottling.

Producer Details
Philippe and Nathalie Gard own this lovely boutique estate. They live in pretty Banyuls in a small house on top of one of the hills, from where the magnificent hills and valleys of this beautiful region are easily visible. Philippe was joined by winemaker Andy Cook a few years ago and the estate is going from strength to strength with a highly sought-after production which sells out every year.
The vines are situated on a large number of small parcels dotted throughout the region. Some are on the high terraces overlooking the sea, where its cooling influence is important; others are further inland. The vines are in many cases very old – up to 100 years- and are very low-yielding; the wines are tight and concentrated but without losing their balance.
