Low sulfites added delicious chillable red from Aix en Provence.
Organic grapes
Situated in Coteaux d’Aix en Provence, Domaine de la Mongestine is a young estate pursuing organic viticulture with biodynamic principles.
Further breaking the mold for Provence winemaking, Domaine de la Mongestine produces their wines with minimal intervention. None of the cuvees see sulfur until bottling. Native yeast fermentations allow the estate to showcase the different terroirs of their estate. They avoid barrel aging in their winemaking preferring inert tanks and amphora, which allows for micro-oxygenation but does not obscure their terroir. As a young estate, Mongestine pushes the boundaries of winemaking in their area by making two limited ‘natural’ cuvees, a Vermentino and Syrah neither of which see any manipulation. We’re excited to begin our journey with Domaine de la Mongestine as they pioneer organic grape growing in Provence.
A curious name for a curious bottle of wine, ‘Bob Singlar’ is a blend of Merlot, Marselan, and Pinot Noir with a dash of Roussanne. A true vin de soif, this buoyant blend represents the newest development at Mongestine. Organic fruit, native yeasts ferments, no oak aging, and low sulfur (10ppm at bottling) make this the perfect red to chill and drink with abandon.
