Other Info:

Maison Ventenac is a family affair. Established in 1973 by Alain Maurel and his father, the estate is now in the hands of the 3rd generation. Stéphanie, the eldest of Alain Maurel's 3 daughters, arrived with her husband, Olivier Ramé in 2010 to take over the estate and revamp its image. Thanks to his extensive training in wine-growing and oenology, Olivier succeeded in combining the old world heritage, passed down by his father-in-law, with the new world spirit. Located in the heart of the Cabardès AOC region, this 160-hectare vineyard (of which 30 hectares are rented) backs onto the Montagne Noire and enjoys both the Languedoc sun and the cool Atlantic influence all year round.

Cuvée d'Eve is a blend of 85% Syrah and 15% Grenache. It has intense aromas of violets on the nose and white pepper spice and berry red fruit on the palate. It has a lovely fresh style that is a result of the cool Cabardés microclimate. Good wine!

Press:

'From the slightly cooler north west of the region, this Syrah has clear nods to northern Rhone-style wines with spice and game aromas. On the palate the game and inky mineral notes continue with perfumed floral notes, blue-black berries and stone fruit and bitter black chocolate and rounded out with ripe creamy acidity. Around £12 a bottle.' - The Express
