Château Viranel, Saint-Chinian Intuition Rouge, 2018

The Intuition cuvée is a modern, expressive red blend—typically Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre—crafted to showcase the sun-drenched terroir of the region, combining ripe fruit with freshness and structure.

Intense and aromatic, offering notes of blackberries, ripe plum, and wild herbs (garrigue), with touches of pepper, sweet spice, and a hint of smoked meat. On the palate, it's full-bodied and generous, with supple tannins, balanced acidity, and flavours of dark fruit, liquorice, and savoury spice. The finish is long and smooth, with a lingering earthy complexity. A wine with both power and poise, ready to drink now or over the next few years.

Château Viranel is a historic, family-run estate located in the Saint-Chinian appellation of the Languedoc, with viticultural roots going back over five centuries.
