About The Wine
The red wine VERSUS, from Roaix, a tiny appellation in France’s Southern Rhône Valley, is completely made of Grenache, a grape that we adore when it maintains lower alcohol and elegance, which this wine does. Manu’s mark on southern French wine is a reversal of the trend in the last 20 years of bruising power and alcohol. This is particularly exciting to us because southern France—among other French regions—has been convinced that bigger is better. While other regions have figured out the flaw in this logic, the south continues to bow down to power in exchange for critical favor. Manu’s wines prioritize elegance, perfume, acidity and precision above all and this wine exemplifies that spirit.
