A tasty Corbieres and a snip at under £8

Chateau du Vieux Parc, Cuvee Tradition, Corbieres 2012
This is a real, great value wine. A blend of the Languedoc's typical Syrah, Grenache and Carignan, vinified with a view to preservation of the grapes' youthful fruit character. Only 25% of this wine is aged in oak, which lends a little complexity and structure, without over-softening the tasty ripe berry fruit. Mid-purple in colour, with a rounded middleweight core of juicy fruitiness, and subtle notes of garrigue herbs. This is a very moorish, tasty Corbieres and a snip at under £8!
