A top-tier Carignan—a favorite variety of ours from Mediterranean France that few people pay attention to! Taken from a plot selection of old vines, 90% of which are planted on calcareous marl and 10% on schist—very interesting soil types that result in an ultra-fine sensation of structure on the palate, but present nonetheless. Padié farms organically and biodynamically; this Carignan saw about two weeks of whole-cluster maceration, without pumpover or punchdown, in big concrete tanks. After a gentle press, he put in neutral demi-muids and amphora during the winter for an aging period before blending and bottling. Juicy dark cherry, with spice and earth, just a really elegant and fine bottling from perhaps our favorite winemaker in the hotbed village of Calce in the Côte Catalanes.

“Wine Shop That’s Worth the Trip”

"Folkways is Spectacular! They are all highly customer focused, and incredibly knowledgeable. They carry interesting wines and spirits, things that are very hard to find elsewhere. (And if they don't have it they'll get it for you.)"

- Walter H.

“Wine geek paradise!”
