An elegant Vinsobres Cru with blackberry, violet, peppery spice and silky, structured tannins.
Gigondas La Cave Les Andronnies 2019 blends Grenache Noir and Mourvèdre in the cooler northern reaches of the Southern Rhône. Fresh dark fruit, floral lift and savoury spice create a graceful red with depth but no heaviness.
Why this wine matters
