Gardens or vines, philosophy or ecology or maybe all these subjects and more, with perhaps a drop of wine.

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.
