The 2018 is a blend of roughly equal parts Grenache and Merlot with approximately 20% Mourvèdre, sourced from low-yielding old vines planted in the brown schist soils characteristic of the Banyuls hillsides. It is labeled Vin de France rather than a Banyuls or Collioure AOC, as Zé's winemaking approach and grape selection fell outside appellation rules.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the cellar, a portion of the blend underwent partial carbonic maceration before aging in a combination of older barrique and stainless steel. No sulfites were added at any stage, and the wine was made with native yeasts without fining or filtration. At 14.4% ABV, it is a full-throated southern red that retains freshness and grip rather than weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe nose is complex and mineral — dark subterranean stone, strawberry, and a spice cupboard of ginger and almond. On the palate, acidity is vibrant and the tannins are fine and thread-like, framing notes of prune, kirsch, and marzipan. The wine earned a 96.3 community score on CellarTracker and was considered a Wine of the Year by at least one reviewer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLa Cave des Nomades closed after the 2020 vintage when Zé returned to Portugal, making these remaining bottles from the estate's short run increasingly scarce collector items.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"La Cave des Nomades","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34621594140824,"sku":"NOMAHIBO18C","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/products\/la-cave-des-nomades-le-hibou-coyote-natural-wine-primal-wine.jpg?v=1780187127","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/le-hibou-coyote-la-cave-des-nomades-france-natural-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
