ASHWIN'S REFLECTION:

Imogen Berry and Robin Althoff are an up-and-coming winemaking couple in Languedoc (southern France) who went to winemaking school together in Montpellier and ultimately fell in love and opened a winery together—after winemaking adventures around the world. This expression, Menhir, is 100% Grenache, and the vines are quite old having been planted in the 1970s. This is a low-sulfur, minimal intervention, biodynamic expression of old-vine Grenache.
