Background info
A prime example of Carignan, whose roots go back to 1903 and form the solid foundation of Roc des Anges.
Visual impression
The view reveals a deep black-red with an intense colouring to the outer rim.
Fragrance profile
The 2019 Carignan de Schistes unfolds expressive fragrant notes that are at once dark-fruity, robust and versatilely elegant. The fragrance ranges from sloe to blackcurrant and mulberry, accompanied by an intense touch of herbal aromas consisting of rosemary and thyme. It can be described as an authentic, sincere drop that has a true sea of juiciness.
Taste impression
On the palate, this wine presents itself earthy and juicy, with a dark fruit richness. The subtle fruit sweetness meets a considerable herbal aroma with a polished tannin structure and refreshing acidity. A fantastic red wine of the south, it is at its best slightly chilled and comes into its own especially at sunset. When drinking this wine, you feel as if you are walking through a field of pine and olive trees.
Recommended food accompaniments
Luscious tartelettes with fresh plums and crunchy hazelnuts would flatter this Carignan. A juicy grilled swordfish steak with sun-dried tomatoes, luscious olive oil and crispy rosemary potatoes would also be an ideal companion for this wine. Another suggestion is roast lamb chops with savoury herb pesto.
