Maison Ventenac Le Paria Grenache 2020
- Elegant, lighter
- France
From ‘Les Dissedents’ range of Maison Ventenac, this 100% grenache is called Le Paria (the outcast). It’s the second vintage of a wine that we just adore! This references the Rhône variety being planted in Languedoc-Roussillon, where the producer believes that it thrives.
Profile
Weighing in at a perfect 13%, the wine is light-bodied, vibrant and full of life. No oak was used in the wine and the clarity of fruit is the result of this decision. Raspberries mingle with cloves and sour cherries with mineral notes. According to the producer, “these wines are uncompromising, chiselled, precise and direct.” We agree and can’t get enough!
It’s cool, we get it, you want to know absolutely everything about this wine. Well here you go, go nuts.

Looks like this is either a wine sourced from various regions in France or it's from a smaller region that we haven't gotten around to writing about for you yet! If it's the former, well, it's hard to make general comments about a multi-regional French wine. So let's assume it's the latter: we've been lazy. Forgive us, there's only two of us, and we're mere mortals. We'll get round to writing something inspirational about this obscure (hopefully, otherwise we're in trouble) region eventually. Meanwhile, shoot in your suggestions (and your resume?), or just rejoice in the fact that there's something magical about heading off the beaten track and telling your friends all about that amazing grape that grows in the hinterlands of a place that doesn't even make it on the map – or Vinomofo's regional writeup section, at least.
