“This Grenache noir-based blend again includes a portion of wine that was fermented and matured in a concrete vessel – both Grenache and Syrah. Along with the concrete vessels, the wine was also matured in old 500 L neutral French oak barrels and a 4 100 L foudre (Pinotage). The Elpidios is produced in a similar fashion to our main Grenache noir in terms of long, gentle extraction, the use of 50% on average whole bunches and then pressed off. After bottling, the wine was aged in a bottle for 18 months before release. This vintage is again based on grapes grown in granite soils from the Paardeberg, blended with structured shale/schists from the east, clay-rich soils from the north, and iron mixed soils from the west.” Winemaker’s notes
Château Musar Red 2014 "A deep red colour, with aromas of sweet cherry, plum and dried fruit together with a subtle spice element and hint of tobacco. The wine has a soft, rounded mouthfeel with lots of flavour and fruit concentration – caramel, mocha, ripe red fruits which are supported with soft, velvety tannins and a spicy finish.- Winemaker's notes
Domaine Marquis d’Angerville Bourgogne Passetoutgrains 2019, Notes of Griotte cherries, red berries and spices introduce the 2019 Bourgogne Passetoutgrains, a medium-bodied wine built with a crunchy core of fruit, tangy acids and melting tannins. It's a fine example of the underrated genre. - William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
"A blend of 50% Grenache, 40% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre, the 2020 Vinsobres features cinnamon, liquorice, black pepper, gingerbread and salinity. Bottled unfiltered. If the sense of terroir-driven power were to be encapsulated by a vineyard site, that site would have to be Rouanne. Our 2020 Vinsobres is packed full of intensity, length, fullness, depth, and enigma." - Winemaker's notes
