Château de la Grande Gardiole Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2011
Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhone, Rhone Valley, FranceGardiole is born on classic stony terraced vineyards in the heart of Châteauneuf-du-Pape owned by the Rey family. The mix is grenache, syrah and mourvèdre that goes through a long four to five week maceration on the skins that results in a silky harmonious mix of fruit and tannins. The flavours of red fruits raspberries cherries and truffles persist through a long spicy, friendly finish. An impressive bottle to be served with your favourite lamb dish.Tasted: 31 December 2014Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $37.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
