This robust Grenache blend was named after the famed philosopher Pierre Abélard to reflect its forceful, brooding intensity and gravitas.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS

Abélard likes “fur”, pairing well with roasts, like venison and beef, and slow-roasted vegetables. It’s also a great match for spicy foods and flavorful cheeses, such as Roquefort and Stilton. Decant for several hours and serve at room temperature or slightly cooler. Ageing potential: 25-30 years.
