Grenache

This full, rich, juicy wine is from an area in Australia called Barossa.

It’s a blend of three different grape varieties, Shiraz, Grenache (Grunash) and Mourvedre (Morvedruh) and the result is bags of ripe, red and black fruit flavours and spiciness

A dark red wine with purple reflexes, typical for a concentrated wine.

The bouquet is subtle and elegant with aromas of red fruits like blueberry and black currant as well as vanilla and cinnamon notes.

In the mouth it appears rich and balanced, with odors of liquorice, violets and red fruits, mixed with fine wooden tones and silky tannins.

Displaying a beautiful rose petal colour, a fine aromatic intensity on the nose and a full, fat mouth feel, this wine shows notes of very ripe small berries, redcurrant and wild strawberry, exotic fruits, lychee, as well as very ripe pears and melon.

A delicate wine with a lot of freshness and a nice aromatic smoothness.

Aret says;

"This wine is pure strawberries and cream!"

This wine derives its name from the large rounded pebbles (galets roulés) associated with the famous vineyards of the area. The stones cover the clay and chalk soils and naturally keep the vine yields low.

Grenache, syrah, cinsault and mourvedre grapes are carefully selected and undergo a traditional long cuvaison at high temperature and extended maceration on the skins in order to extract plenty of colour, fruit and tannins.

This all results in a great youthful mouthful of Châteauneuf - Provencal garrigue aromas lead to a palate of sweet cherry flavours - Châteauneuf-du-Pape for the modern wine drinker, delicious with lamb or with Lancashire hot-pot.

This luscious red is made from selected parcels of old vine Grenache and Syrah (aka Shiraz), making it a truly mouth-filling wine packed with rich, juicy and ripe berry fruit flavours, a touch of soft tannin and a subtle twist of spice.
