Comax Ethylix

The wine geeks amongst you might known Banyuls for it’s dessert wines, but there is a lot more to this small wine region. It’s often overlooked by big wine producers because of its difficult terrains and extreme weather fluctuations but these characteristics are also what makes it a very interesting area to grow high quality fruit. Steep vineyards (we’re talking potentially mortal level of steep!) with deep mineral rich soils blown by heavy winds, scorching hot days and cool nights.

All this trouble pays off in the form of the finished product. A Syrah + Marsanne blend with a character we rarely see around: extremely fresh, medium to full bodied with the deepest black/blue berries, present tannins and a feeling of something which is very much wild and alive.
