Grape

Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah or Shiraz

Origin
From the Lirac appellation of the southern Rhône. The soil is broadly similar to Châteauneuf-du-Pape's. This wine is from vines with an average age of 45 years.
Taste
Brimming with black fruit, berry flavours, with herby undertones and attractive perfume. Rich and complex it has good grip and concentration and excellent length.
Enjoy
A great match to hearty beef casseroles or rich venison sausages.

    Top class

    Brooding powerfull full bodied red, with lots of fruit and silky tannins, perfect with a rare steak.

    classy

    Won't appeal to those who like to be assaulted by some New World blockbusters, but this is a weighty, but subtle, wine of smooth and fruity character.

    Disappointing

    For the money I would go for a Chilean or Australian over this lacklustre, unmemorable concoction any day. Like many French wines, promises a lot and delivers very little

Press Reviews

  • "This excellent value red is a vivid southern Rhône blend of grenache with syrah, mourvèdre and cinsault; and it has the powerful effect of a wine with not inconsiderable (14.5 per cent) weight."
