Details
The Occitanes range is devoted to the South-West of France, different from the rest with its own culture and style. This Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah blend has a nice mix of dark fruit, savouriness and plenty of pepper and spice.

Located on the outskirts of the stunningly beautiful city of Toulouse, the region of Fronton is a quaint region that flies under the radar of most wine enthusiasts. It isn’t flashy or bright with fancy varieties or old wealth, this is farming land where the wineries focus on local varieties and keeping to traditions. Enter the Arbeau family, who have a winery located in the town of Labastide-Saint-Peirre, literally wedged inbetween narrow streets that are sure to cause moments of panic for any tourist in a rental car. Anne and Géraud Arbeau have transformed their century old winery into a marvel, adapting their local varieties into the fast paced world of modern drinking with bright labels and equally bright wines. They not only source from Fronton, which gives them access to the local Négrette but also source from the surrounding South-West regions of Gaillac, Madiran and Cahors amongst others to showcase the delights that usually only feature a couple of paragraphs in any french wine book.

Pairing guide
We just loved this bold and beautiful Cabernet Blend from this esteemed winery, which offers a masterful balance of varieties to bring out the very best in each and every one. It’s a top-notch wine for pairing with hearty home-cooked fare; we loved it with braised beef and dark leafy greens, and it’s going to work very well with dishes making a star ingredient of broccoli, Brussels sprouts, potatoes and anything with plenty of truffle. Wild mushrooms, roast lamb, venison, chicken livers, aubergine and courgette... the list just goes on and on!
