A beauty of a Minervois, this Syrah-led blend is packed with ripe bramble fruit and the unmistakable herbal note that you’ll find in wines from Minervois La Livinière. Rich and robust it pairs beautifully with hearty cuisine like stews and tagines.

Soave is having a bit of a moment and this traditional style has been giving a modern twist thanks to the innovative Pasqua winery.
