Mas des Bressades Costieres de Nimes Tradition Red 2022

93 POINTS: Wine Direct Tasting Team

A blend of 55% Grenache and 45% Syrah.

"This is classic Southern French Bistro red. Intense, primary aromas of crème de cassis and fresh sun drench thyme and rosemary perfume this juicy red. A blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah, it's a plummy crowd pleaser balanced by a bold, mineral finish. Tannins are there but are soft and rounded.  A total drinker that will put many more fancy appellations to shame! If you live Cotes du Rhone you will love this"
- Wine Direct Tasting Team

"Dense and spicy on the nose for an "entry-level wine," with abundant notes of blackberry, blueberry, and cherry, accompanied by a touch of olive. The palate reveals rich garrigue flavours—typical herbal notes intertwined with hints of leather and subtle minerality. The tannins are ripe and soft, complemented by good acidity. The finish is fruity, medium-long, and leaves the palate refreshed—truly satisfying."
- Winemakers Notes
