Domaine de L’Ostal
Estibals

AOC Minervois

It takes its name from one of the domaine's finest parcels... ''Estibals''. Domaine de L'Ostal Estibals is made from a blend of the youngest vines that do not meet criteria for the Grand Vin of Domaine de L'Ostal. The blend is made up of 42% Syrah, 36% Carignan, 12% Grenache and 10% Mourvèdre.

This balance of grape varieties provides a perfect expression of the Minervois appellation. The wine is aged in French oak barrels for 12 months.

A rich, smooth and sun-drenched wine

With its deep red hue and violet glints, Domaine de L’Ostal Estibals offers notes of scrubland, morello cherries and red fruits. On the palate, the attack is full and smooth with well-marked tannins and a touch of oakiness.

The bronze disc on the label brings to mind the warm and sun-drenched character of wines from Minervois.

Vintages

2018 ended with heavy rainfall, replenishing the soils before a mild winter with temperatures that were slightly above the seasonal average.
The beginning of 2019 was marked by light but regular bouts of rainfall until the spring. Budding occurred early (around six to ten days earlier than usual). A cool April and May then slowed flowering, and a heatwave in June slightly delayed the colour change of the grapes.
The summer moved on from a hot, humid July to a dry August with little wind, allowing the vines to develop and the grapes to ripen very well.
The harvests went smoothly from 9 September. They were completed a month later on 10 October.
The 2019 vintage offers an excellent aromatic potential.
