"Dense, with great expression of terroir (garrigue & herbs), rich with sweet and savoury tones and a long spicy finish."

 

Named after the "Gres" terroir (from which the wine is produced) Syrah and Grenache undergo a maceration of 4 weeks with daily "pigeage" followed by careful aging in both tank and oak.
Harvested between the 10th of October & the 17th of October.

The Vintage: The grapes were sourced from each of our Terroirs (Grit, Ruffes & schist) which helps add to the complexity of this wine. Due to the warm conditions during flowering and decent rainfall throughout the ripening period the 2008 vintage has turned out to be one of our best balanced to date! The growing season was prolonged by cool conditions during August and picking started in late September. The wines of 2008 have a real purity of fruit with great minerality and finesse.
Tasting Note: A deep dark ruby red; blackcurrant, liquorice, mint and lavender notes dominate the nose; a broad palate of black fruits, dark chocolate leading to a spicy fresh finish.
