Description
The Cotes du Rhone AOC sits on both sides of the River Rhone between Vienne, Valence and Avignon. The appellation derives its personality from a surprising diversity of soils and climates. This great diversity has led to several grape varieties, including the Grenache and the Syrah, being grown here. The Grenache red grape variety endows the wine with fruit, warmth and smoothness, while the Syrah confers spicy aromas, colour and a firmer structure.
Serve between 16-18°C. Best enjoyed within 2-3 years. Pair with red meats, game and cheeses.
