A blend of Syrah, Grenache, Carignan and Mourvèdre grapes. Dense ruby-purple in colour with a nose of black raspberries, vanilla oak and a mineral/herbal note. Its candied raspberry flavour is full bodied and well structured with ripe tannins. A versatile food wine, it can match a range of red meat dishes, particularly casseroles.
A unique Alsatian take on the grape, this lemon yellow wine reeks of lychee, tropical flowers and pineapple. Good acidity, rich mouthfeel, lemon and melon on the palate — a surprisingly long finish for a simple wine. Excellent with old-fashioned Cantonese food.
Pale yellow. Clean nose of white peach, pear and apricot with a subtle mineral touch. Nicely balanced, its fruity taste has medium weight on the tongue. Drink now. Chicken vol-au-vent would be a great match.
Medium lemon yellow, delicate bouquet featuring peach pie and cantaloupe. Light bodied, has the delightful virtue of being both dry and fruity, with tangerine and pineapple standing out. Try as an aperitif.
Pale yellow. The nose is shy, and it has citrus notes with a little mineral component. A few very small CO2 bubbles appear in the glass. Soft and round on the palate, its taste is pleasant. There is a nice acid tang in the finish. Drink now.
Bright pale yellow. Delicate, slightly herbaceous nose of fresh citrus. Sharp on the palate, quite intense taste of grapefruit, it turns a little fatty in the finish. Medium length. Drink now.
Dark yellow. Striking nose of honey and exotic fruits, minerally. In a slightly oxidized style, it feels mellow and half dry on the palate, but the finish is sharp, fresh and very long. Quite original from a little known appellation that uses the same grape (Chenin Blanc) as Vouvray.
