Headed to the beach? Considering hosting an amalgam of your thirsty companions for a sweltering weekend get-together? This wine is a perfect in-lieu-of-lemonade July 4th companion. Buy a case and your party beverage worries are over. To our memory, this is the least expensive wine we've sold, it tastes great AND its organic. How does this work? This is a Direct Trade wine and Jay met the family in January. The magic is that the Languedoc region has historically made affordable wines, and even as the quality improves, the prices stay low. This is a great time to check out wines from the Languedoc while the best of them remain good values.
The Wine... The wine from this domaine tastes really clean, fresh, juicy. This Sauvignon is fermented and aged in tank, using no oak. All the Sainte Marie des Pins wines are certified organic. They are truly the product of mixed-use agriculture. Sixteen of Sainte Marie des Pins' 56 hectares are planted to vines. Organic is great, but avoiding monocultures and preserving green space are equally important.
