Country: France Region: Cotes du Rhone
Varietal: Grenache / Syrah / Mourvedre / Cinsault
Vintage: 2021 Colour: Red Style: Dry
Producer: Maison Brotte
Description:This wine, close to our hearts here at Maison Brotte, was created in 1952 by Charles Brotte with the co-operation of local Provençale glass and ceramic craftsmen. The unique bottle shape represents the gnarled and twisted vines typical of the region due to their struggle of growing against the Mistral wind. The bottle is exclusive as we are the only winery permitted to use this shape.
Tasting notes:Light and fruity on the nose, with cherry, raspberry, earth and barnyard aromas and a pleasing spiciness. It has vibrant acidity on the palate, with slightly sour red fruit and spice notes and a rustic quality

Varietal: Grenache Vintage: 2021
Colour: Rose Style: Dry
Producer: Charles Melton
Description:A long relatively cool summer was the hallmark of the 2011 vintage providing ideal conditions for healthy fruit. Following harvest and crushing, the juice is drawn off after skin contact of 24 hours and then undergoes a cool controlled fermentation.
Tasting Note:The vibrant colour is the first striking feature of this wine. The aroma shows typical Grenache varietal characters of cherry, spice and raspberry. The palate has good fruit weight with a tight underlying structure. The flavours are seamless which finish clean and zesty. A serious rose by a real master winemaker.
