Natalie's Score: 90/100

The Via Nostrum is a dry, medium-bodied red blend of 70% Syrah and 30% Grenache, crafted from grapes grown on the marl, sandstone, and limestone slopes of Corbières in the Languedoc. This wine is lively and aromatic, offering notes of cherry, red plum, wild herbs, and a touch of spice, supported by bright acidity. The palate is smooth and balanced, with silky tannins and a fruity finish. Excellent value. The wine pays homage to the ancient Via Domitia, a Roman road that once connected many of the Languedoc’s renowned wine regions. Enjoy it with roast beef or veal cutlets.

Food pairings: roast beef, veal cutlets, roast duck.
