Intemporal Rouge 2022
,
Cinsault (100%) · 2022 · 14% abv
Sourced from a 70-year-old Cinsault vine in a secluded valley, Intemporal reflects generations of winemaking expertise. Ruby red with aromas of ripe black and red fruit, its complex nose is lifted by subtle wood notes. On the palate, richness and depth meet roasted and chocolate tones, carried by excellent balance and a long, elegant finish — the purest expression of the estate’s oldest Cinsault.
Production
Manual harvest with strict bunch selection preceded fermentation in stainless steel. Maceration was gentle to extract flavour without harsh tannins. The wine then matured partly in barrel and partly in stainless steel, striking a balance of complexity and freshness.
Vinyard
Planted in 1952, the old-vine Cinsault sits at 350 m among garrigue scrubland. Clay-limestone soils with excellent drainage encourage deep root systems, producing naturally low yields. The altitude moderates the Languedoc sun, extending ripening and preserving balance. Farming is strictly organic, with hand work throughout the season to protect the old vines.
Pairing
Pairs beautifully with matured prime rib of beef and other rich red meats. It’s equally at home alongside mushroom bourguignon, leg of veal with prunes, or duck aiguillettes in a full-bodied red fruit jus—robust dishes that match its depth and character.
