WINE DESCRIPTION
Château d'Oupia Minervois Rouge is a rich and complex red wine produced in the south of France. The vineyards are situated on the hillsides, where the vines benefit from the warm Mediterranean climate and the stony soils. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including hand-harvesting and fermenting in concrete tanks. The resulting wine is full-bodied and flavorful, with notes of dark fruit, spice, and a hint of earthiness. This wine is a perfect example of the high-quality wines that can be produced in the Minervois region.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Château d'Oupia Minervois Rouge is a bold and full-bodied red wine that shows ripe blackberry, plum and a hint of cassis on the palate.The tannins are tight and structured, yet the finish is smooth and supple. With its balanced acidity, this wine pairs well with grilled meats and robust cheeses. Enjoy now or cellar for up to five years.

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.CUSTOMER RATING
