One of our hidden gems. Grower Bruno Gigondan runs his vineyard according to absolute respect for the environment, using a wild or ‘abandoned’ style of viticulture as well as an unusual form of demineralised rainwater, to provide perfect organic, natural growing conditions for his 65 year old vines. All the work on the vines is done by hand and it undergoes a long fermentation to extract all the flavour of the fruit.
In the glass
Deep purple, expressive, ripe black fruit with violets and spice on the nose. Ripe blackberry, black pepper and rosemary palate and a long, fruit and spice finish.
A very drinkable, light and fruity wine.
Such a great price for what I’m sure will become one of our regular “every day” reds.
Thank you to WineAtHome for yet again a wonderful suggestion!
Definitely a WAH favourite for all the reasons you say - great taste, great value - and as always - incredibly well made by a grower who surpasses expectations year on year. Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review!

Nice and light
It was a suggestion by Wine At Home, I’d not had it before. From the notes I thought it might be a lighter version of my usual Malbec varieties. And so it proved. Very easy on the palate, lightweight but full of flavour. A good suggestion. In future I might balance up my order of Malbecs with some of these.
We love this wine - it's so versatile and as you say - a great choice or when you feel like drinking a red wine with a lighter feel. You might also like to try a bottle of our Cotes du Rhone Reserve St Just AOC which is made by the same grower...a bit more expensive but a really wonderful wine with a fine balance of fruit. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review! We really appreciate it!

A gem of a wine.....
Wine at Home called this a gem of a wine and how right they are! This organic syrah is a perfect expression of the grape and terroir and I loved the aromas of dark fruit, violets and summer herbs. A really gorgeous wine
Definitely one of our hidden gems! So glad you like it! It has just so many layers of fruit, spice and aroma - yet remains wonderfully light making it a great match for so many foods... Thank you for taking the time to comment - it really is appreciated.

Delicious Syrah!
Really enjoyed this Syrah, lovely and smooth and not too heavy, went so well with my cheeses but also a lovely everyday red - also love the fact it's organic so respects nature and you can almost taste that purity to it - delicious!
Thank you so much for your review! It really is a surprising wine - not at all what you first expect - and you are right about the cheese!

Great everyday drinking wine
We asked Wine at Home for some suggestions for some (more or less!) everyday drinking wine and this was our favourite. Not too heavy and a really good fruity, mellow flavour. We finished it up pretty quick and have been back to order more!
