Chateau Riviere is a winery situated on old schist and limestone terraces in Peyriac, Languedoc. The vineyards are south-facing and consist of centenary vines, as well as younger vines of Syrah and Grenache, which produce well-balanced grapes. This wine has a garnet-red colour and offers a delightful combination of blackberry and blackcurrant aromas with hints of grilled almonds and vanilla. The old vines are harvested by hand and subjected to carbonic maceration. The aromatic varietals are vinified in pre-fermentation to extract long, blended and silky tannins so they give all their expression to the grapes. This wine is best served at a temperature of 18°C and pairs perfectly with meat dishes in sauce and cheeses.
