WINE DESCRIPTION

Château d'Oupia Les Hérétiques Pays d'Hérault is a red wine produced by Château d'Oupia in the Pays d'Hérault appellation of Languedoc-Roussillon, France. The vineyards are located on the hillsides of the region, where the vines benefit from the Mediterranean climate and the stony soils. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including hand-harvesting and natural fermentation, resulting in a wine that is medium-bodied and fruity in flavor. The wine is made from a blend of Grenache and Carignan grapes, which give it a deep ruby color and aromas of dark fruit and spices. The wine is known for its smooth tannins and long finish, making it a perfect pairing for hearty meat dishes.

ORIGINS

Winery: Château d'Oupia

Region: Languedoc-Roussillon

Languedoc-Roussillon is an expansive wine region in the south of France stretching from Nîmes and Montpellier east along the Mediterranean coast and inland to the Spanish border. It is the largest wine-producing region in the country, with a long and rich history of winemaking. The Languedoc-Roussillon region has been producing wine since the Roman Empire. It was the first region in France to produce sparkling wines, and it has been a major producer of fortified wines since the Middle Ages. In the 19th century, the region was known for its sweet wines, but in the 20th century, it began to focus on producing dry wines.
