The Food Behind the Label: Domaine de Tara, Beef Bourguignon



In this installment of 'The Food Behind the Label' we have chosen to look at Domaine de Tara.

 Located in Provence 40kms east of Avignion is the estate of Domain de Tara. The vines here are nestled into the picturesque heartland of the Luberon National Park in the Rhone Valley, part of the Appellation d'Origine Controlee Ventoux.  Perched high on the distinctive ochre coloured cliffs these vines bask in the glorious sunshine of the region and, aided by the famous Mistral wind, the grapes develop their distinctive flavours and characteristics. The region itself is steeped in wine making tradition and the estate is amongst some of the oldest vineyards in France, recent archaeological finds have been able to date wine making here back to 30BC.
