SansSoo


This wine from La Réserve d'O can be found at the Wine Tasting Shop in Balham.

This establishment is run by Julia Michael and stocks a wide and eclectic range of wines. It is well worth a visit.

La Réserve d'O lies in the Terrasses du Larzac area northwest of Montpellier benefitting from long sunny days and the freshness conferred by its 400 metres above sea level.

I tasted their wines a couple of years ago and was most impressed. This is the first time they have been imported to the UK.

The name SansSoo is a word play on the fact that it contains no added sulphites (s followed by 2 o's = SO2)

A lovely velvety jam pot of a wine, but not cloying. Dark fruits and spices with freshness. Sumptuous.
