This Sunday we have a couple of Languedoc on tap. The vines are planted on the old saltwater marsh of Marseillette and on the hillsides of Saint Frichoux. Deep beneath the clay soils lies a bed of salt and we are able to remove the salinity using the very specialised technique of flooding the vineyards in winter. Come tast the results.

2018 Ferrandière Malbec  $11
These vineyards in the Languedoc sit on an old saltwater marsh that protects the roots from phylloxera. The Malbec is lighter than most Argentian Malbecs, but with an ample red fruit profile. Fresh and clean, with good balance and bright acidity.

2017 Ferrandière Syrah  $11
These vineyards
in the Languedoc sit on an old saltwater marsh that protects the roots from phylloxera. The Syrah has beautiful floral overtones, black olive tapenade, and black fruit. Punches well above its weight, an excellent wine for the price.

Madrona Wine Merchants offers free wine tastings featuring 3-5 selections on a theme every Saturday from 2 until the bottles run out and on Sunday, we offer a mini-tasting of two wines all day from 11-5.
