Clarry’s is a blend of Grenache, Shiraz and Mataro with old vine Grenache from the 1940s and 1960s. The wine is fermented in open-top fermenters and basket pressed. To preserve the superb fresh fruit flavours of the wine, it is only aged in very old oak hogsheads and only for a limited time of 3-4 months. Clarry’s is soft and fruit-driven with flavours of raspberry, perfume, clove and spice. It is mouthwatering with a muscular structure and great length.
Bright red with purple edge. Aromas of vivid lifted spice, raspberry compote, violets, toffee apple, strawberry ice-cream, fresh flowers, earth. Succulent, medium-bodied, soft, rounded palate. Fine definition, crunch, freshness, balance. Red, blue fruits, chewy earthiness. Subtle tannins, muscular backbone. Long finish, very drinkable.
It is a great wine to drink. Always great to taste a fabulous chardonnay. Hope you can bring the Domaine Collotte Chardonnay. It will sell like very well in New Zealand. Please advise when it is available.
For this sort of money you could buy a decent NZ chard....but this wine transcends you to a small village to the east of the Rhone on a balmy summers night...once you have been there you will want to go back again and again
Not tasted yet but have been buying this wine from Wine Direct for as long as they have been importing it .....fact is Grand Veneur only make the good stuff
