Chateau d'Oupia 'Les Heretiques' Rouge

"Les Heretiques" is a nod to the Cathars, a heretical Christian group based in the Languedoc but wiped out by order of Pope Innocent III in 1208 in response to the murder of a papal representative by a Cathar supporter near Minervois. The castle which is the home of Chateau d'Oupia dates back to this time as well.

One of the finest natural wine values in the marketplace, Les Heretiques is mainly old vine Carignan plus a splash of Grenache to add a little oomph. It is a rustic, earthy, and spicy red wine with loads of ripe berry fruit. Perfect for everyday sipping, it also shines with grilled meats, charcuterie, and other rustic fare.
