Château Maris RP-1 Rouge 2023
Château Maris RP-1 is a relatively new and exciting offering from Château Maris, the highly respected and innovative biodynamic producer in the Languedoc region of Southern France. A blend of Merlot and Syrah 'RP-1' is the name of Rocket Propellant-1, a highly refined kerosene used as rocket fuel. Château Maris uses the name to symbolize a meticulously crafted blend that is designed to "propel your senses on a unique journey," selecting only the most desirable characteristics from the grapes. Made with organic and biodynamic principles. The grapes are traditionally vinified in vats, with maceration and fermentation focused on retaining freshness and smooth texture. RP-1 is a smooth, approachable and fruit-forward red wine. It offers plenty of dark fruit notes (like black cherry and plum) from the Merlot and Syrah grapes, alongside an earthy complexity and silky, soft tannins. Château Maris is globally recognised for its extreme dedication to sustainability. They have been awarded the Robert Parker Green Emblem and built the world's first carbon-negative winery using hemp bricks. The RP-1 wine is a reflection of this commitment to quality through pure, minimal-intervention winemaking.
