Winemaker Notes
As for the Grenache, it brings superb generosity and softness tothe wine. The oak aging of part of the wine to be included in the final blend in large barrels, aims to enhance the Mediterranean character ofour wines without dominating it. Thanks to its structure and balance, this fine wine from Languedoc can be cellared and aged for many years.
Blend: 60% Syrah, 35% Mourvédre, 5% Grenache Noir

Located near the medieval village of Pézenas in the heart of the Languedoc region, Domaine de Nizas was established in 1998 by Franco-American agriculturist, John Goelet, a member of a distinguished family in Bordeaux. With Bernard Portet at his side, a fellow visionary in the world of wine rooted in respect for tradition, they shared a driving ambition to create great wines in exceptional terroirs. This led to the creation of Clos du Val in Napa Valley as well as Taltarni and Clover Hill in Australia. Portet identified the terroir around Pézenas as one of extraordinary promise. Individual plots which represented three different soil types, or terroirs, were acquired to create Domaine de Nizas which would allow them to craft high-quality artisanal wines that express the spirit of the Mediterranean. Portet then worked with the local team on a major replanting to match the right grape varietals to the different terroirs. In 2018 the iconic French winemaker François Lurton took the helm of all viticultural and winemaking activities
