{"title":"Banjo Vino","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBorn in Paris and rooted in the sun-soaked vineyards of the Languedoc, Banjo Vino is a small négociant ( a wine merchant who buys grapes, juice or finished wine from growers) with a big appetite for flavour. Founded in 2020 by Alexis Rivet after years spent championing independent growers, it works with organic fruit and has been certified organic from the start. The aim is simple: vibrant, joyful wines that make you feel alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe range is deliberately playful. Expect juicy Syrah and Grenache blends, light and fruity Cinsault made in an infusion style, and a skin-contact white from Grenache, Roussanne and Viognier that is soft, aromatic and easy to love. Wines are made with minimal sulphur and are typically unfined and unfiltered, so they stay lively and full of fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAt its core, Banjo Vino is about wine without pretension... colourful, surprising and made to be shared.

It’s made in the Languedoc from hand-picked grapes, which are destemmed and then raised briefly in stainless steel. That approach keeps everything fresh and light on its feet, so the fruit takes centre stage rather than any heavy extraction or oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIn the glass and on the palate, Guru is all about brightness. Red fruit leads, folded together with sweet spice, and the two grapes work in harmony: Grenache brings the generous, juicy red fruit, while Syrah adds a savoury, spicy edge. The finish is persistent, with a gentle crack of black pepper that gives the wine a touch of character without ever weighing it down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eLike everything from Banjo Vino, Guru is certified organic and made with minimal sulphur. The producer likes to call its wines “jus” (juice), and that captures the spirit well: easy to enjoy, great for newcomers to natural-leaning wine and a pleasure for seasoned fans of lively reds.

The brief behind it was to create a cuvée that was a true ode to the grape we all know, with more structure than the rest of the range while keeping the juicy harmony that defines the Banjo Vino style. It’s still a Languedoc red at heart, but with a little more weight and seriousness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThat extra substance comes from careful work in the winery. The grapes are only partially destemmed, so some of the stems stay in to lend the wine more grip and body. Fermentation takes place in concrete tank, where gentle micro-oxygenation helps to settle the tannins and stabilise the colour. The wine then spends six months in neutral vessels, so nothing masks the purity of the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIn the glass, expect ripe black fruit woven with soft, sweet spice, and a velvety texture that coats the palate.

It’s a nod to the clairet tradition of Bordeaux, reimagined in the Languedoc. The blend is Mourvèdre and Cinsault, two classic southern French grapes, and the aim was to keep everything that makes that pairing special.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTo do that, the team treated Alice like a red wine but kept the extraction very light. The result is a pale, unusual colour that’s as surprising to look at as it is to drink. A short élevage preserves the freshness, so the wine stays bright and lively rather than heavy or brooding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eOn the palate, delicate red berry fruit meets crisp, crunchy tannins that give the wine real bite and energy.

Banjo Vino’s version is organic and made without filtration, so it keeps plenty of its natural character.

That preserves the grape’s zip and tension while adding a touch of extra texture and roundness on the palate.

Orange wine is simply white wine made with skin contact, and Massé is a gentle, approachable introduction to the style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe grapes spend ten days on their skins, which is long enough to give the wine its colour and a little texture, but short enough to keep it fresh and easy to drink.
