WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre are brilliantly compatible – as many people will have discovered in great examples from the Rhone Valley. The blend gives spicy blackberryish flavours, dark plum, black cherry dark fruit and a hint of pepper. There is also a distinctive mineral, perfumed note that comes from the Mourvedre. The different soils and altitudes contribute hugely too.
Perfect with all full-flavoured meat dishes, and ideal with traditional French cuisine as well as more international dishes whose flavours include a note of spice.
