Domaine La Soumade Vin Doux Naturel 'Grenat'

It opens with intense aromas of black cherry, blackberry liqueur, cassis, and ripe plum, layered with violet, cocoa, licorice, and a touch of garrigue. Compared to tawny‑style VDNs, the Grenat style is all about freshness, fruit purity, and youthful richness. On the palate, it is full‑bodied, velvety, and opulent, showing flavors of black cherry compote, blackberry jam, dark chocolate, and sweet spice, supported by soft tannins and a silky, warming sweetness. The 2022 vintage’s natural ripeness amplifies the wine’s plush texture.
