The Grande Provence Red 2015

This wine is a perfectly balanced, full-bodied and multi-dimensional blend with a beautiful deep garnet hue. It exhibits a powerful and complex aroma with notes of cigar box, cherry tobacco and cedar, overlaid with cassis, roasted strawberries, bright red cherries and raspberries.The wine has a smooth, supple entry with seamless integration of oak. The flavours on the palate echo those found on the nose and are cradled by pliable, polished tannins that linger like a first kiss. This is a classy and perfectly balanced example of a modern take on Bordeaux. It was barrel aged for 24 months in French oak.

Bordeaux-style blends are the perfect partner to lamb, beef, game and duck.  Enjoy this wine with full-flavoured, slow roasted red meat dishes, lamb cutlets with rosemary and creamy veal saltimbocca.
