Remy Ferbras, Ventoux, Rhône, France, 2016

This Grenache-based blend sourced from grapes grown on the famous stage of the Tour de France cycling race, Mount Ventoux. More importantly, the mountain protects the vines from the violent mistral wind. This is pure fruit in the glass with notes of red berries and spice. It has a very smooth palate and is rich on flavours, with no use of oak.
