50% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 20% Carignan
Gérald Serrano (right) is the 3rd generation of winemakers of this Rhône-native family. Located on the hilly slopes of the Southern Rhône, the vineyard reaps the benefits of vast sun exposure year round. This allows the famous varietals of this region, Grenache and Carignan, to express their full potential.
The grapes are destemmed and crushed before vatting. At the beginning of the fermentation, the Grenache undergoes several punch downs in order to extract nice red fruit flavors and color from the skins. The generous climate and hills of the Rhône Valley
make for a smooth yet vibrant wine.
A very smooth, fruity nose expressed by the dominant varietal, Grenache, in this wine. The Syrah provides nice spices to balance the fruit. The Carignan, although only 20% in the blend, brings nice structure on the palate with delicate yet full bodied tannins.
This the perfect wine for a barbecue or fancy dinner alike.
