While the Mediterranean coast is long, the territory covered by the Méditerranée Indication Géographique Protégée (IGP), or Protected Geographical Indication (PGI), includes coastal regions of southeast France, including Provence. Wines carrying this name come from vineyards that both overlap and fall in-between well-known winegrowing areas of the southeast, including the Rhône Valley and Provence.
But Mediterranée IGP is more than just a large region. The indication of origin gives a guarantee of place and quality, with flavors of ripe, sun-kissed fruit, sometimes a touch of garrigue herbs, a whisper of the salty sea breeze or a hint of Mistral-dried rocks.
Soleil du Sud is a 50/50 blend of Syrah & Grenache and opens with bright aromas of small red berries, stone fruit, citrus & herbs. The palate is clean & crisp with fresh strawberry, peach skin, apricot, summer melon & tangerine fruits. The finish is intensely bright & refreshing - juicy summer fruits & a splash of green herbs combine with a touch of sea salt & rocky minerals.
