Chateau Maris Natural Selection Syrah-Grenache 2021

WE91

Château Maris Natural Selection Syrah-Grenache 2021 is a vibrant and expressive Southern French red blend that perfectly embodies the spirit of sustainable winemaking. Crafted from organically and biodynamically farmed Syrah and Grenache grapes in the heart of Minervois, this wine celebrates both nature and craftsmanship. Château Maris, one of the world’s first B-Corp certified wineries, is renowned for its commitment to eco-friendly practices, using only natural yeasts and minimal intervention to allow the true character of the grapes to shine.

In the glass, this vintage opens with deep ruby color and aromas of ripe blackberry, wild herbs, and violets. The palate follows with juicy red and black fruits—think cherry, raspberry, and plum—layered with notes of cracked pepper, licorice, and a subtle touch of earthiness that reflects its limestone-rich terroir. Medium-bodied with silky tannins and balanced acidity, the wine finishes with freshness and finesse, making it incredibly approachable and food-friendly.

Perfect for pairing with roasted meats, grilled vegetables, or Mediterranean dishes, the 2021 Natural Selection Syrah-Grenache is a wine that captures both the artistry of Château Maris and the vitality of its land. Whether enjoyed now or over the next few years, it offers an authentic taste of the Languedoc region with a modern, natural edge.

Tasting Notes: Aromas of dark berries, garrigue herbs, and hints of spice. The palate is round and balanced, featuring flavors of ripe cherry, blackcurrant, and pepper with a smooth, lingering finish.
Body: Medium-bodied
Style: Organic, biodynamic, and vegan-friendly

"Red cherry, black plum and black olive converge on the nose accented by forest floor and dried field grass. Tart black fruit on the palate moves into crushed shells and wet stone along with a hint of copper on the finish. Drink now, this biodynamic blend of Syrah (70%) and Grenache (30%) would pair well with schnitzel, cobb salad and grilled-cheese sandwich"
