STORY
The sun-drenched days in Southern France
make for a great environment for grapes to
grow and ripen. During the nights, the cool and
moist ocean winds from the Atlantic Ocean
help the grapes develop their wonderful fruit
aromas. The soil consists of mostly clay and
gravel, and water is stored in the soil during the
wetter spring time.
During the hot and dry summer moisture is then
released from the soil for the vines to use. The
name of the wine is derived from “mont”, which
are the southern faced slopes of the vineyards
and “gravet”, which is what the soil is called
locally.
WINE MAKING
The grapes first undergo a six hour skin contact
fermentation to extract as much of the fruit
aromas as possible.
After fermentation the wine is left to rest on the
lees for three months, further enhancing the
smoothness and texture of the wine.
FOOD PAIRING
This smooth wine with intense flavors of fruit
pairs wonderfully with salads and different fish
and seafood dishes.
Serving temperature 6–8 °C.
