For the authentic taste of southern French reds, bag this case, it is a ripper. Southern France’s patchwork of ancient vineyards and small special plots make wines of unique character and great value, like these juicy favourites. Grown at altitudes of around 600 meters above sea level right down to the foothills in intensely fertile soils - this wine from the Languedoc makes complexity look easy.

The story of Fortant began in the 1920s with the Skalli family. Originally from Algeria, Robert Skalli fell in love with the wines of southern France. Thus began his affair with the grape, planting vines in his home country and producing wines of generosity from low-yielding vines. In 1961, Robert’s son Francis fell in love with the very same French wines, the Languedoc-Roussillon in particular. The beautiful backdrop of the Med became Fortant HQ, now over four generations. Throughout the Languedoc Roussillon, Fortant employ three unique terroirs and a warm climate to produce a range of excellent wines styles.

If you like juicy, silky smooth reds, give this case a try!
