Winemaking Process: Crafted with care, the grapes for Tire Pé Diem are hand-harvested and destemmed, with each plot handled separately to ensure the fullest expression of the vineyard’s character. Following a gentle 8-12 day maceration at cool temperatures for a soft, delicate extraction, the wine is aged for 8-10 months in concrete tanks. This approach preserves its fresh, vibrant character, with no systematic filtration before bottling.

Tasting Notes: A youthful ruby hue with flashes of purple invites you into the glass, where aromas of fresh red fruit mingle with a subtle, cedar-laced minerality. The palate is buoyant and fruit-forward, brimming with juicy red currant, crushed plum, and a touch of sweet herbs. Tire Pé Diem is a delightful red, offering a straightforward, fruity profile and a lingering, charming finish.

Food Pairing: This easygoing Merlot complements casual gatherings and picnic fare alike, pairing seamlessly with baked chicken, grilled beef, spicy pasta dishes, or mild cheeses.

Certification: Practicing organic since 2008, and officially converting since 2011 (ECOCERT)
