Villa Tempora Le Démon du Midi – Languedoc – Red – 2018:

 

VILLA TEMPORA LE DÉMON DU MIDI RED: The Ultimate Languedoc Powerhouse

The Le Démon du Midi Red from Villa Tempora is a bold, structured wine that captures the intense sunshine and rugged terroir of the Pays d’Oc. Far from a simple regional wine, this Syrah-Grenache blend is crafted for those who demand richness, depth, and cellar potential. It is the ‘Demon of the South,’ a truly compelling expression of luxury Mediterranean winemaking.

Tasting Notes (Sommelier)

• Color: Deep, dark garnet, with vibrant purple reflections.
• Nose: An intense, layered bouquet of ripe black fruits (blackberry, blackcurrant), underscored by notes of garrigue, savory licorice, black pepper, and a subtle hint of tobacco leaf.
• Palate: Full-bodied and authoritative, the palate delivers fine, velvety tannins that provide structure without harshness. Excellent balance between Mediterranean power and freshness, leading to a long, spicy, and memorable finish.

Pairing & Serving

To fully unlock the complexity of this wine, a decantation of at least one hour is strongly recommended. Serve at 60-64°F (16-18°C).

• Food Pairings: Slow-Cooked Beef Stew, Grilled Ribeye Steak with Rosemary, Venison Chili, or a rich Aged Cheddar & Charcuterie board.
