**2019 Château Maris Minervois Savoir Vieillir** This **sulfite-free Syrah** from South France’s Minervois region delivers a fresh, medium-bodied profile with vibrant red fruit character. The nose opens with delicate aromas of redcurrant, cherry, and pomegranate, while the palate shows fresh-picked raspberry and red plum notes layered with subtle anise, brick dust, and garrigue. The wine maintains excellent purity and focus with a smooth, creamy mouthfeel and a spiced finish—a testament to the winery’s biodynamic approach and one-month maceration process. This is an approachable, food-friendly red that punches above its category without pretension.

Serve slightly cool with grilled vegetables, herb-crusted poultry, or Mediterranean-inspired dishes.
