From 19th century bear tamers, to 21st century modern wine makers, the Grassa family's history, owners of Domaine Tariquet, is full of adventure. Originally an Armagnac producing estate, much like everyone else in the area, they were pioneers in making quality wines from the indigenous grapes of Gascony such as Ugni Blanc, Gros and Petit Manseng and all the family's know-how shows in their superb value for money wines. 40% Merlot, 40% Syrah, 20% Tannat. A beautiful shade of pomegranate red, with an exquisite bouquet, both subtle and intense. Mild spicy notes lead to a delightful duo of wild raspberry and flower petals. Rich, full bodied and fresh on the palate. The fruit is a treat as the wine’s intensity retains an ethereal quality, leaving a trace of rich flavours and salty spiciness on the finish. A rosé made from red grapes, using the same vinification process as for white wine.Possibility to store the BIB on a fridge shelf, and not in the fridge door, thanks to its reduced height.
