Mas de Bellvis Negre ‘Organic’ 2006
Wine of the month offer price: £5.69 (normally £6.69)
Wine is a more complex product than vegetables or meat, so just simply being organic doesn’t mean that you necessarily have a better product. However, there is a growing recognition that viticulture should be moving more in the direction of being sustainable and in some cases organic. It is difficult to be completely organic as the wine has traditionally been vulnerable to diseases and has depended upon treatments at most parts of the growing cycle. However, now a few determined pioneers have managed to produce organic wine within these difficult circumstances. This wine displays an intense purple colour and complex aromas of violets and dark fruits such as plum. There are good tannins which will compete well with charcuterie. This wine is from 100% organic farming. If you are used to paying a premium for organic products you will be surprised. £5.69 reduced from £6.69 while stocks last.
