Vacqueyras

Full

Cork

Plush, juicy nose, opening on cherry compote and a Black Forest gateau richness, layered with violets, blueberries and a touch of savoury smoke, like coppa or other cured meat. The palate is broad and rounded, with powdery minerality and slightly earthy tannins; florality emerges more clearly on the mid-palate. There’s plenty of energy and drive beneath the richness, keeping everything lifted. The finish is seductive and savoury, distinctly Syrah-bacon in feel. Syrah-Grenache blend, entirely vinified in concrete.
