Winemaker: Mireille and Pierre Mann
Husband and wife team Mireille and Pierre Mann, both children of Alsace winemakers, had been running their own restaurant in Alsace but gave it up to start Mas Des Caprices and make wine in 2003. Their estate, certified organic and biodynamic, sits outside the dreamy town of Leucate on the Mediterranean coast in France’s AOC Fitou region. We loved this white from the duo a few months ago, and now we bring you their chillable red, perfect for all of your summer grilling needs! This wine's light body and rustic tannins are practically begging for burgers, grilled chicken or grilled veggie tacos. You can’t not love this energetic mouthful of wild berry, red raspberry and tart plum fruit zipped up with mouth-watering acidity. Give it a 30-min chill.
