Description
The 2021 Gigondas Hominis Fides boasts huge black cherry and blackberry fruit, accented by hints of peppery spice, cedar and vanilla. It’s full-bodied, rich and concentrated, with a long, velvety finish. There’s really no hint of this being a difficult year in the Southern Rhône, testament to the hard work put into the vineyards by proprietor Louis Barruol and his team.

Varietal
Red Rhone Blend
The Rhone region of France has been producing superb quality white blended wines for centuries, and is a region highly respected and esteemed around the world, with plenty of New World countries keen to emulate the styles and techniques displayed by the historic wineries and skilled vintners of the area. The secret to the Rhone’s success when it comes to blended white wines is the careful and expert selection of certain grape varietals, which each lend special features to the blended wine and bring balance and harmony to the bottle. Most commonly, blended white Rhone wines feature no more than two grapes of either the Viognier, Rousanne, Marsanne or Grenache Blanc varietals, and are renowned for their exceptional flavors and highly aromatic, floral character.
