Fatim's entry-point red, conversely coming from some of her oldest vines of Carignan at 80 years of age. Less finessed and more raw than her other wines, this is true vin de table in a more edgy, 'rock n' roll' style - rustic, sanguine juice to quench a thirst. It packs an explosion of fresh, brambly fruits on opening, that on the palate take on that bloody quality of iron-rich minerals, mixed with that game-y, earthy funk that Carignan can sometimes exhibit. Served with a little chill this is one of those nourishing bottles that provides a lot of joy at the dinner table with friends.

After harvest the bunches were split, half pressed directly and half de-stemmed and carbonically macerated for one week before being pressed into steel to rest for one year before bottling with no additions. On the wilder side, this is a bottle we recommend drinking within 3-4hrs of the cork being pulled.
