‘La Tire’ Fitou
France, Languedoc-Roussillon
Carignan, Syrah (Shiraz)
Why La Tire? Because “La Tire” is French slang for the car, and obviously the 2CV is symbolic of French automobiles and was commercialized in 1948, the same year the AOP Fitou appellation came into existence. Drive my good man!
Cardinal red. Aromas of red fruits and spices. Intense notes of blueberries, blackberries, pepper, liquid violets and scrubland, with delicate tannins and a nice crisp acidity. Plenty of freshness and tension.
