Description
Enormous concentration with great tannin structure giving this extraordinary elegance on the expansive palate. Extremely long finish with a cascade of candied orange, licorice and mineral character. From ancient grenache vines in the La Crau site, but from the part with sandy soil. A grenache-based cuvee, one-third of which was matured in foudre, one-third in new oak and one-third in concrete tank. From organically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2025.

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.
