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.

Producer

The Domaine de Vervine is located on the high garrigues of Sarrians, not far from the village of Vacqueyras in the southern Rhone, near to Chateauneuf du Pape.

It is rich and fragrant with red fruits, blackcurrant and green peppers on the nose, warm succulent stone fruits and a hint of mineral backed by supple tannins.
