What to Expect

Rhone Blends are generally based on Grenache, though some blends may be predominantly Syrah or Mourvedre. The fact that these wines are blends gives the winemakers unusual flexibility in creating a finished wine. In the Southern Rhone Valley of France the styles can range from light, fruity, soft Cotes du Rhone to big, bold, age worthy Chateaunuef-du-pape. This blend is also very popular in Australia and the United States where they frequently go by the Moniker GSM (Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre) and exhibit the rich, bold fruit that both countries are famous for.

Winemakers Notes

Geology
Old, stony terraces that lie over sandy marl and pliocene age clay.

Grape varieties
80% Grenache, 20% Syrah.

Winemaking
The sheltered site of Rasteau results in early ripening of the grapes. The harvest is heated before fermentation, as at Beaucastel.
The wine then undergoes long vatting, with no cap-punching.

Maturing
90% in stainless-steel tanks. 10% in casks.
Ageing in bottles for 6 months before shipping.

Tasting notes
A deep red colour.
The nose is typical of ripe grenache, with aromas read more...

"Packed with red currant, fig, licorice and spice flavors that are wound tight by ripe, fine-grained tannins. The big, toasty finish needs some cellaring. Grenache and Syrah. Drink now through 2008...90." WS 5/07
