history
In the ancient language of Oc, ‘‘ostal’’ denotes both the family group and the house where they live. Since 2002, Domaine de L’Ostal is the property of the Cazes family. It is located in La Livinière, a village at the foot of the Montagne Noire. In a protected environment, among green oaks and cypress trees, this estate of 150 ha (of which 60 ha are planted with vines and 25 ha with olive trees) has everything it takes to make great wines. Domaine de L’Ostal - Estibals is the fruit of the collective parcels of the property in the Minervois appellation. It derives its name from a beautiful parcel in the estate: ‘‘Les Estibals’’.
Vineyard
Vineyard planted on the hillside on a homogeneous plot thanks to its South-facing exposure. Soil made up of a mosaic of shallow marly surfaces over chalky sandstone.
Winemaking
One week’s fermentation and 20-23 days’ maceration. Regular remontage and extraction appropriate to the potential of each vat. 30% of the syrah are aging 12 months in French oak barrels.
Tasting notes
This wine exudes dazzling freshness, revealing a vibrant red with violet hues. The wine stands out with intense aromas combining fresh fruits (redcurrant, blackcurrant, wild strawberry) and Mediterranean hints of thyme and rosemary, almost minty. On the palate, freshness prevails. This cuvée presents a dense structure and silky tannins that bring balance and harmony.
