Brise Marine Red

A Sea Breeze in Red

Brise Marine takes its name from the Mediterranean wind that cools the vineyards of southern France, and the wine keeps that sense of freshness. Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache and Syrah come together in a red with purple nuances in the glass and a nose that leans towards gentle spice. The palate is supple and finely balanced, medium in weight and unfussy, with nothing sticking out and nothing missing.

This is a red built for the table rather than for contemplation. It suits sausages off the barbecue, a bowl of ratatouille, or a Tuesday shepherd's pie without any sense of occasion required. Serve it slightly cool, the way they would on the coast it is named after, and it becomes noticeably more refreshing.
