A blend of Grenache, Cinsault and Carignane, this Rhône Valley red brings juicy blackberry, tomato plant, black licorice, black cherry and raspberry notes on the nose. It's a medium-plus-bodied red with bright dark fruit flavours, modest green/herbal notes, light acidity and no real noticeable oak presence. Chill this for 15 minutes and enjoy with pizza.

About this winery
In the south of France sits the village of Rasteau, a small hilltop parish with a long history of winemaking. First established by the Romans in 30 BC, the hilly, south-facing slopes and smooth-pebbled soils of the region provide the ideal terroir for planting classic Rhone varietals like: Grenache, Mourvedre, and of course Syrah. Cave de Rasteau is one of Côtes du Rhône’s oldest co-operative wineries. Founded in 1925, it now consists of a union of eighty growers managing over 700 hectares....

Tasting notes
An easy drinking wine with aromas of liquorice and blackcurrant. A fruity Côtes du Rhône, slightly spicy, with well balanced tannins.
