Héritage Kosmos 888 2021
Languedoc AOP
100 ml tasting experience
Kosmos 888 pays tribute to the two celestial bodies at the heart of organic viticulture: the Sun and the Moon. Made from organically farmed vines aged 15 to 40 years, this cuvée embodies power, harmony and depth. Syrah provides structure, Grenache adds body and roundness, and Mourvèdre brings freshness and complexity, creating a balanced, elegant wine with an intensely Mediterranean character.
