Hob Nob Red Blend

Our blend of Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Pinot Noir grapes were harvested at the optimal time in the season in the beautiful region of Languedoc in the South of France when the fruit is ripe and juicy. The grapes were vinified traditionally with care and passion by skilled winemakers. After the initial maceration, malolactic fermentation took place for 3 weeks at 68 F to bring out the full natural fruit character. A part of the wine was then oak aged for 8 weeks to develop fine tannins and structure.Coined in the 18th century, the term HobNob refers to people drinking to one another, clinking glasses, rubbing elbows, celebrating various moments and milestones. Safe to say those early adopters were toasting different accomplishments and occasions, like successful harvests, jousting victories and avoiding the gallows. These days, with longer life expectancies, fewer arranged marriages and the power of electricity, there are more reasons to HobNob than ever: like an outdoor summer concert with friends, a more private moment with a crush on a city rooftop, even mingling with your crew at an underground club. Rejoice and raise your glass.
