Côtes du Rhône Villages

Cork

Lovely blackcurrant note on the nose, unusual for Grenache, with some well-integrated oak spice. Full-bodied, juicy, succulent, with lovely driving acidity and tense, crunchy tannins. A wine that has really used the vintage to its advantage; pure Grenache can be overly alcoholic and soft in hot vintages, but in cooler ones like this it has the necessary structure to hold the fruit together. The oak becomes more noticeable with air (it's aged in demi-muids for 18 months) but should be very good in time. 15.5% alcohol, but it holds it remarkably well. Grown on grey sandstone soils on steep slopes at 350m above sea level. In conversion to biodynamics.
