Our top-rated flagship old-vine Grenache and Syrah blend,
our version of a Southern Rhône classic.

DESCRIPTION
We named our Grenache blend after the famed philosopher Pierre Abélard to reflect its forceful, brooding intensity and gravitas. Our old Grenache vines flourish at this high altitude. At harvest the scent of wild strawberries and black fruit wafts through the winery. We strive to capture and showcase this highly perfumed aroma, then add a splash of Syrah to add to the complex structure.

We produce this wine as an ‘homage’ to the original Abélard and Héloïse, whose unwavering commitment to each other is mirrored in our own convictions. To read their story, click here.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS
Abélard likes “fur”, pairing well with roasts, like venison and beef, and slow-roasted vegetables. It’s also a great match for spicy foods and flavorful cheeses, such as Roquefort and Stilton. Decant for several hours and serve at room temperature or slightly cooler. Ageing potential: 25-30 years.
