Martin Texier ‘Le Preyna’ Cinsault Grenache - Rhône Valley, France
Bright, juicy and irresistibly drinkable, Le Preyna is a wonderfully fresh southern Rhône red that favours elegance over weight. Aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry and red cherry are lifted by notes of violet, white pepper, dried herbs and a subtle earthy spice. The palate is light to medium-bodied, with silky tannins, vibrant acidity and a lively core of crunchy red fruit. Supple and energetic, it finishes with a savoury herbal note that makes it as refreshing as it is moreish.
Produced by Martin Texier from organically farmed vineyards, Le Preyna reflects his low-intervention approach to winemaking. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and handled as gently as possible in the cellar, the wine is designed to showcase purity, freshness and drinkability rather than extraction or heavy oak. The blend of Cinsault and Grenache captures the sunny generosity of the southern Rhône while retaining an elegance and finesse that have become hallmarks of Texier’s wines.
