This light bodied red is bewitching – smooth, with good intensity; serve chilled and drink with abandon. Everything about this wine is fun. Bob Singlar has a double-meaning. 1) refers to the popular French DJ Bob Sinclair 2) a play on the Catalan word for wild boar ‘singlier’ – an abundant menace in the vineyards feasting on ripe grapes. A most uncommon mash up of local organic red and white grapes . From young winemakers bucking the trend of classic blends, and making some of the most exciting natural wines of Southern France today – there’s lots of chatter about them in the Paris Bistro scene.

Their Cred
Situated in Coteaux d’Aix-en-Provence, in France, Domaine de la Mongestine is a young estate pursuing organic viticulture with biodynamic principles. This is a rarity in their region that is known for mass produced Rosé for easy poolside drinking. The owners Harry and Celine Gozlan embarked on this project focused on organic farming and making wines simply, without intervention. The estate was certified organic in 2014 and is now undergoing the process of transition to fully biodynamic viticulture.
