Expressive of the warm, mediterranean climate it comes from, this Grenache/Syrah blend is dense and dark, with blackberry, cassis, olive and liquorice complexities. Supple and packed with flavour, the palate is medium bodied. The fruit comes from organic vineyards planted on the region's characteristic galets roulés, the large rounded Rhône pebbles over clay and other mineral-rich soils.

One of the leading producers in Costières de Nîmes, in the south west of the Rhone Valley in France, this 40 hectare, certified organic estate is a family affair. Established by Roger Marès in 1964, it’s now in the hands of his son Cyril. Having worked in California and Chile, Cyril brings a modern sensibility to their wines from this historic region.
