L'Absurde genie des fleurs, Ploum 2023

The mere idea of L'Absurde genie des fleurs dates back to 2014 when wine enthusiasts Miha Trifa and Tom Gautier met. Driven by the importance of zero intervention winemaking, they established their domaine among the rich clay/limestone slopes of des Gorges de l'Hérault, Langeudoc-Roussillon in 2016. A mosaic of grape varieties and ages of vines are meticulously cultivated to preserve the natural balance of the ecosystem. Zero fining, filtration or sulphites are added. Ploum 2023 is 100% Cinsault aged in stainless steel for a pure reflection of the grape. This lively, zingy wine has a pleasant volatility that would make for an incredible aperitif. Sweet pomegranate molasses meet Ocean Spray-like cranberry crunchiness. Ploum 2023 would pair well with hard cheeses and smoked almonds.
