Dom Brial Rivesaltes Tuilé NV
£16.75
The wine
Brick-red in colour, with delicious aromas of ripe red berries, tobacco and stewed prunes, enveloping a voluptuous palate with refined sweetness and wonderful balance. Rivesaltes is a vin doux naturel, fortified partway through fermentation so natural sweetness remains. Tuile means tiled, for the russet colour it takes on with oxidative ageing.
The producer
Dom Brial
View all Dom Brial winesDom Brial is a cooperative named for a Benedictine monk born in the Roussillon. It was founded in 1923 on the principle that together we are stronger, a direct response to the phylloxera crisis that had devastated the region's vineyards.
It now represents 247 growers across 1,700 hectares, certified for sustainable winegrowing since 2007 and holding HVE Level 3, with 200 hectares farmed organically. Its finest wines come from Château les Pins, a 28-hectare estate in the heart of the village in Cotes du Roussillon Villages, bequeathed to the cooperative by one of its own growers.
