Mar y Muntanya Rouge 2018 - Domaine de l'Horizon - Languedoc, France

‘Mar I Muntanya’ means ‘Sea and Mountain’, and the surreal label hint that this is a ‘fun’ rather than a ‘serious’ wine, though don’t let that make you doubt how well it has been executed.

Made in Beaujolais style. A bright, charming, fruit-forward wine, light in alcohol with pure, attractive aromatics, expressive and Mediterranean in character. The nose is a profusion of fruit, carbonic in style, while the palate express more complexity and refinement. The texture is soft and pleasantly round.
