Banyuls

Banyuls is a sweet, fortified wine from the southern French region of Roussillon. Made primarily from Grenache grapes, it is produced through a process called mutage, where alcohol is added to halt fermentation, preserving natural sugars. This results in a rich, full-bodied wine with flavors of ripe red and black fruits, spices, and often a hint of nuttiness. Banyuls is traditionally enjoyed as a dessert wine, pairing well with chocolate, berries, and cheese. Its unique production and complex flavor profile make it a distinguished choice for those seeking a flavorful, contemplative wine experience.
