"Lovely organic Cotes-du-Rhone, super drinkable from the sun baked vineyards of the Southern Rhone Valley"
Certified organic this is made up of a blend of 50% Grenache, 25% Syrah, 10% Cinsault and 15% Mourvedre. Deep dark red colour with black tinged edges and a dark red hue. Aromas of dark raspberries and hints of liquorice laced with fresh herbs are followed by scorched earth and spice. Light to medium weight ripe dark cherry and raspberry flavours meld into traces of red liquorice, earth and spice. Fine grained tannins.
I haven’t tried every bottle in this selection yet, however, so far they are all very tasty. I’m a Chardonnay lover, always on the look out for a dryish not sweet wine and these are just right for me. An excellent mixed case and we’ll priced.
This was a very nice surprise in Wine Direct’s very welcome Plenty Under $20 category. Beautifully fruity, rich and smooth. Often the Plenty Under $20 range is a little light for the depth I like but I will definitely be reordering this one.
A great summer wine… elegant and a fine balance of lighter fruit and delicate acidity with a nice dry finish. Very drinkable with or without food. A nice change from our usual unoaked French Chardonnay
