Vieille Mule Rouge
Easily labelled, because the emblem for the Catalans is the mule, and old because the vines are old, but quite simply because the mule’s head looks great on the bottles!
Grape varieties
100% Grenache
Origin
France / Roussillon / Case de Pêne / Vallée de l’Agly
Nuance, aroma & taste
Deep crimson. Fruits (tomatoes,…) and spices (balsamic,…).
Cherry kirsch, wild herbs, liquorice, exotic spices.
Medium bodied and voluptuous with a slight pearly effect which gives a light and airy side to the wine (airy is perhaps pushing it a bit), but in any case greedy!
Pairing
Mixed grills, white meats...
