Rêverie
Rêverie wines come from a land full of history. It is produced in the Southern French Languedoc-Roussillon, along the Mediterranean coastline. This region benefits from the Mediterranean climate, with the northern mountains of the Pyrenees embrace the vineyards of the Pays d’Oc like an amphitheatre. The coastline borders the region in the South and boasting views of beaches and vast expanses of vineyards with windswept soils. The landscape is made up of steep slopes, hilly peaks, vineyards, vegetation and the sea. The region’s humidity and cool temperatures are partnered with hot dry summers allowing the vineyards to produce perfect maturity in the grapes packed with fruity aromas.
Thanks to a heritage of over 2000 years of winemaking traditions and an integration of climates, reliefs and soils, this region is home to a diversity of extraordinary wines. It is the patchwork of wine growing areas in Pays d’Oc that creates an expression of these grape varieties that are unique. This allows us to produce a versatile range of wines reflective of the region.

Maturation
The wine is aged for six months under the influence of French oak, in tanks specially selected by our winemakers.

Deep red.
Aroma
Intense and complex aromas of cassis and violet with an oaky waft.

Concentrated and wonderfully smooth with exceptional length.
Expert Review
Michael Cooper
Drinking well now, this full-bodied red from the Mediterranean south of France has fresh, lively blackcurrant and plum flavours, with hints of spice and dark chocolate, and very good depth. 3.5 Stars
