Description
In a nutshell:
A fresh, supple and organic Rhône Valley red blend grown on the slopes of Mont Ventoux.
The lowdown:
Because of the higher altitude of the vineyards in the Ventoux area they can make wines with more freshness than elsewhere in the Rhône Valley. This, made by Scottish ex-pat James King is a blend of Syrah and Grenache which, after fermentation spends a year in oak barrels which adds texture and softness. The Syrah gives it a marked darkness of colour. And there are violets, cherries and hints of tobacco aromas which lead onto a palate of brambles, black pepper and herbs. Altogether this is a well made wine and largely achieves the elegance and depth of flavour which they set out to reach.
When to drink:
The softness and freshness make this highly versatile, but roast lamb, poultry and game are good food matches.
