ORTAS CAVE DE RASTEAU - La Domelière - 2019

ORTAS CAVE DE RASTEAU

La Domelière 2019

Featured as a Top Ten: Red Wine Values from Anthony Gismondi on Wine.

 "Some wines just deliver year in and year out and this Rasteau is one of them. La Domelière is planted to a commune hillside over chalky-limestone terraces covered with pebbles. The mix on average is 40 years age for the grenache (70%), syrah (20%) and mourvèdre (10%). The palate is a savoury, spicy garrigue affair with dark red, slightly jammy red fruit, flecked with licorice and pepper. It’s the value and the honesty here that makes this wine so attractive."
