108 Rouge 2022

2022 sees 108 Rouge go full Mourvedre, highlighting the savoury and autumnal character of this most southern of grapes, especially when it's grown so close to the Mediterranean. A pleasurable wine of place and full of wonderful complexity: rustic, pure, earthy, aromatic, windswept and romantic, with faded roses and lingering tannins. Amazing value. And as ever - Zero additions. Pure wine.

Paul Old is an ex-ballet dancer and expat Australian who has been making wine in the Corbière region, as Le Clos Perdus, since 2003. Becoming increasingly drawn to natural wine, he began 108 as his workshop-style project exploring zero-additions winemaking and has never looked back.
