One of our hidden gems. Grower Michel 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.
United KingdomWine 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.
United KingdomReally 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!
United KingdomWe 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!
Thank you for your kind (and useful) comments. Glad our new stock has now arrived!
