Domaine des Homs 'L'Amandier' Rouge

'The Cinsault is 100% de-stemmed, pressed, cold-soaked, and left to settle for 36 hours on native yeasts. A short fermentation is performed at cool temperatures to preserve the natural acidity of the grapes, lasting about 15 days. Once malolactic fermentation is complete, Jean-Marc ages the wine for five months in tank to create a lively, fresh and
quaffable red. The finished wine is left unfined and plate filtered. Bottling generally takes place in February, on the same date as the flowering of the almond trees, from where the cuvee “L’Amandier” (or almond tree) derives its name. No additional sulfur is added to the wine.

Bursting with notes of blueberries, cassis and strawberries and seemingly seasoned with white pepper, “L’Amandier” is the ultimate easy-drinking, everyday red. Generous on the nose, supple on the palate and vibrant on the finish, it rolls across the palate effortlessly. It’s easy nature makes it a great candidate for pairing with almost anything you are serving at the table, from a simple antipasti or charcuterie plate to barbecue.' - Importer's Notes
