Pic Saint-Loup L'Hortus Bergerie de l'Hortus Classique Famille Orliac 2012

The Orliac family, who have owned Domaine de l'Hortus for 25 years, are here represented by Marie-Thérèse and Jean, who have gradually built a name for themselves as one of the iconic domains in this appellation. They preside over 50 hectares of vines which benefit from a northeast facing, limestone terroir. Respectful of both Nature and Man, they are meticulous in their winegrowing and making.

Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre grapes have been sustainably cultivated and matured for eight months in tanks. As a result, the wine has an attractive ruby-red colour exuding notes of black berries, licorice, sweet spices and vanilla. Its crisp, juicy palate is structured by refined tannins. This cuvée can be enjoyed while young, with dishes such as white meat.
