About the estate

Versatile Grenache blend
This is a wine that echoes the very soul of the south of France. Deep garnet in colour, the first thing that struck me is the unusual nose of stone fruits (stewed plums, black cherry) and mature hay with a spicy hint of chocolate in the background; just what you would expect from a carefully-considered Grenache blend. Very well-balanced, this one presents low-acidity and its great structure makes for a silky-smooth wash across the palate, fresh but not over-powering. The smooth long finish makes it a great wine for enjoying with family and friends (my wife – a strict ‘one glass per evening’ person asked for a top-up, which is saying something). I’m confident it would accompany a wide range of food such as a nice steak and ale pie or a hearty game casserole. One of the most rewarding wines I’ve tasted this year. Rating: 4 – 4.5*
