Elicio Grenache-Merlot, IGP Méditerranée 2020 (750 ml)

Elicio Grenache-Merlot, IGP Méditerranée 2020

Blend: 50% Merlot, 50% Grenache
Vines: 10 to 20 years old vines aged in concrete tanks for 6 to 8 months

Made by Xavier Logette, this unusual blend surprises with its freshness and versatile, easy drinkability, but is still unmistakably of the warm and lush Southern Rhône. Packed with fresh blackberry and blueberry, prominent brown spices and a floral delicacy round out this deceptively complex wine. A round and very fruit-forward wine to be enjoyed by itself or all your meals, and very well-suited to smoky and spicy foods like BBQ. Serve at 16-18° C or slightly cold (14° C) in the summer.

Elicio’s producer, Caravinsérail, is a wine story. The name echoes the caravansary of the desert, a propitious place for travelers to rest, meet, and relax in a congenial atmosphere. In partnership with skilled winemakers, owner Xavier Logette and Didier Robert (manager of the Œnologist Office “ICV” in Beaumes-de-Venise) produce wines of quality and pleasure from grapes of the Southern Rhône and Languedoc. They range from light and easy wines at a very affordable price to more elaborate and complex cuvées for special occasions.
