The great Syrah grape originates from the Rhône - it is in fact the only permitted red variety in the Northern Rhône. There are of course a geat many other grapes grown in the Southern Rhône; red Chateauneuf-du-Pape can be made with a blend of up to thirteen different varieties(some of which are white)! The Rhône's production of AC wines is second only to Bordeaux in quantity, and its quality status has been growing at a dramatic rate in the last few decades, so much so that many of the top rated wines by the greatest producers (both red and white) can fetch astronomical prices. It is in the north that the greatest wines are made. Reds are all Syrah based with some white varieties also included - Viognier, Marsanne and Roussanne. Whites are all made from these same three varieties. In recent years Viognier has become extremely fashionable sending the prices of the Northern Rhône's great whites (Condrieu, Château Grillet and Hermitage) spiralling to White Burgundy level. In the Southern Rhône the styles produced vary enormously, from everyday drinking wines such as Côtes-du-Rhone to massively complex reds like Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Most Côtes-du-Rhone is made to be drunk young although there are some exceptions, while a lot of Chateauneuf-du-Pape needs a few years in the cellar. The grape varieties of the Southern Rhône are seemingly endless, but the most significant of the region are Syrah, Grenache,Cinsaut, Carignan, Mourvedre and Terret Noir for the reds, and Roussanne, Clairette, Bourboulenc, Picpoul and Grenache Blanc for the whites. Just about any wine produced in the Southern Rhône may be labelled as Côtes-du-Rhone as long as it reaches 11 degrees of alcohol, while Côtes-du-Rhone Villages refers to wines that tend to be of higher quality; some of these villages have their own AC status (Cairanne, Rasteua and Valreas for example). Red, white and Rosé wines are produced in the south.

Nicknamed the Giant of Provence, Mont Ventoux is the tallest mountain in the Monts de Vaucluse. This land of dreams and legends has been the setting for incredible stories involving men who one day dared to defy the mountain. The region setting is beautiful, but sometime hostile. The terroir consists of steep slopes, pebbly soil, and a windy, very sunny climate. Every vintage reflects the winegrower’s passion to produce optimum quality.

High up the ‘slopes of schist’ in the rugged mountainous terroir of Séguret lies a single vineyard so predominantly planted with Grenache Noir (intermingled only here and there with some Syrah) that the resulting wine – Les Coteaux Schisteux – comes close to being one of the purest expressions of Grenache Noir in the southern Rhône valley.

Since the elevation of Cairanne to a southern Rhône cru, this first release of 'La Côte Sauvage' continues to be characterised by its finesse and finely-grained texture, due in part to the famous ‘argilo-calcaire’ of hilltop vineyards such as La Pauline and Les Six Terrasses, slow wine making methods and gentle maturation in different sized barrels of old French oak.

Rich and concentrated wines in the area of Rasteau come from perfectly ripe Grenache & Syrah grapes and low yields.
The wine boasts a deep ruby sustained, shimmering bright purplish colour.
Sweet aromas of stewed fruit: cherry, blackberry, prune, fig and wild raspberries on a background of licorice form a complex, focused and enjoyable nose.
The palate confirms the beautiful ripeness and is well coated with sweet notes of cherry, prune and fig. The finish is long, powerful and generously spiced.
A pleasant, smooth wine with an aromatic character, splendid value too, better than many a cheap Chateauneuf Du Pape.

This Cotes du Rhone was harvested at night to prevent oxidation and avoid the use of SO2, this keeps the freshness and protects the natural aromas of the grapes. The wine was then vinified without the addition of any sulphites. A deep ruby in colour, the palate is elegant and well balanced with red fruits, spice notes and soft tannins.
