Region
Grenache forms the backbone of southern Rhône blends, including Châteauneuf du Pape, Gigondas and Vacqueyras. The vast area of Côtes du Rhône offers a great diversity of soils, microclimates and a variety of grapes to create a range of styles at all quality levels. The aromatic dessert Muscat de Beaumes de Venise, is fragrant and sweet.

From selected vineyard slopes of Villedieu, in the heart of the southern Rhône, this traditionally vinified Grenache Syrah blend exhibits the extra depth and concentration of a Rhône Villages. Spice and red fruits combine on the nose whilst maximum extraction ensures a rich core of ripe plummy fruit and wild herbs on the palate.
Tasting (Short)
