Fantastic introduction to the wines of Rhone Valley. From the spice of the Syrah to the softness fruit of the Grenache to the perfumed aromas of Viognier, this is a great selection for winter warming wines or for a rack of lamb on the BBQ this summer.

A rich and complex wine; the palate is brimming with ripe red summer fruits from Grenache, while Syrah brings a touch of peppery spice and Mourvèdre a savoury herbal twist.

Domaine de Montine - Gourmandise Red
Rhone, France
1 x 75cl Bottle
Grignan les Adhémar is the new name for Tricastin and Domaine de Montine is one of the best-known names here. A family business, just outside Grignan, this has well-placed vines and makes wine in all three colours. Why buy from here? The answer is freshness. This part of the Rhône is almost at an intermediary stage between north and south. The Syrah grape works well here as do all the whites, ripening without undue haste, and the wines are inexpensive and quality on the way up.

Domaine de Montine Secret de Terroir
Grignan des Adhémar, Rhone Valley, France
1 x 75cl Bottle
The fresh and bright colour reminds you of young but ripe blackcurrant, with nice violet hints.
The first nose is surprising, with a very fresh and crunchy attack, just like a well ripe pomegranate. After airing it becomes more and more pleasant, and more typical from our southern appellation.
A fresh and light attack, proper to the Pinot Noir elegance, with all the south friendliness. The end of the palate reveals the full-bodied and intense character, soft tannins liven it up, it has nicely opened up.
Harmonious and well balanced Suitable for any friendly moment !
1 x 75cl Bottle
Lirac is quite a special Cru. In general, the wines are softer than its peers. Here, it’s all about the finesse and the fruit of Grenache.
Deep crimson in colour, with notes of strawberries and blackberries. On the palate, the wine has a velvety mouthfeel and fresh acidity. Redcurrant flavours continue through the mouth-watering finish.
