Description
In a nutshell:
A bold and well-structured Gigondas, brimming with ripe black fruit, earthy spice, a hint of minerality, and a finish that lingers long enough to make its point.
The lowdown:
Gigondas' slightly higher, cooler vineyards often lend a touch of minerality to the generosity of southern Rhône reds, and this is one that showcases that beautifully. It's 80% Grenache, supported by equal measures of Syrah and Mourvèdre, fermented in concrete vats and aged for 12 months in French oak. On the nose, there's a lovely waft of garrigue with a subtle minty lift. The palate is rich and spicy, brimming with intense bramble fruit, a whisper of plain chocolate, and smooth, ripe tannins. Silky and balanced, it manages to be big and bold and rather moreish without overdoing it.
When to drink:
Perfect with rosemary-crusted lamb chops, a wild mushroom risotto, or a rich venison stew - anything hearty and full of flavour to match its earthy depth and velvety tannins.
Suitable for Vegans
