Dark wild berries, dried herbs, dark cherries, baking spices, roasted meat and hints of cloves as well. Medium to full body with a round and creamy core of fruit. Generous with a caressing texture and so much pepper character bringing vivacity and energy to the focused finish. Structured and flavorful finish with a licorice aftertaste. 40% grenache, 35% syrah, 15% carignan and 10% mourvedre. Drink or hold. From organically grown grapes.

Region: Rhone Valley

The southern French wine region of the Rhone Valley has been home to wine-makers for over two thousand years, with the first grapevines of the region being cultivated in around 600 BCE when the ancient Greeks arrived with their knowledge of viticulture and eagerness to produce more wine. Today, the region is famed around the world for the excellence of its produce, and has dozens of wineries making the most of the wide range of grape varietals which flourish there. In the northern sub-region, the continental climate and brisk winds coming off the Central Massif allow wineries to grow a smaller range of varietals – predominantly Syrah, Marsanne, Roussane and Viognier, whereas the southern, more Mediterranean sub-region allows far more range. Here, dozens of varietals are grown for the production of white, red and rosé wines, all packed full of flavor and able to express the unique terroir they are grown on.
