From Fronton in the South-West of France (just north of Toulouse) comes this stunning wine from Domaine La Colombière called 'Vinium' which is made exclusively with the local grape Negrette. If you can't tell from the name it is an incredibly dark skinned variety and is grown on sandy soils with red clay. The wine is fermented with whole bunches to soften the tannin and to provide lift and is aged in concrete tanks for a year before release. An energetic wine full of spice, baked earth and crunchy acid.
