M5 is Margerum's Flagship wine. It is modeled after top wines from southern Rhône – Châteauneuf-du-Pape . The M is for Margerum and the 5 is for 5 grapes: Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cinsault, and Counoise. M5 is a Grenache-based blend and has elegance and layers making it a versatile table and food wine. The overlying presence of Grenache flavors initially impacts the palate, followed by a finish complete with hints of jam, cocoa, and dark berry contributions of Syrah and earthy Mourvèdre. It’s a “go-to” wine since it drinks well with every occasion and almost every type of cuisine.

Syrah adds richness and power, Mourvèdre adds earthy, old world, Counoise adds aromatics of watermelon and Cinsault adds a spice component

Largely estate plus purchased grapes & made with Reductive winemaking style.  Aged in 50% neutral puncheons and 50% neutral and a few new barrels.  Finish primary/secondary in barrel. Then blended. Never racked. Great with almost any food at the table.

Refined and elegant. Rich and concentrated with ample girth and lots of enjoyable complex fruits. Integrated tannins complete the framework. The density, texture and depth of this wine is a testament to the quality of the vineyards.
