Successful Blends

Posted on April 3, 2021 by Roger Harmston Posted in Terroir Leave a comment

Syrah (74%) and Grenache (26%) blend from South Western France in the Languedoc / Roussillon Region. Aged in concrete andthen French Oak.


This is mouthwatering with minerality-  to give a full body, silky, almost seamless bouquet of aroma and flavours.I suspect this will age well for the next 4 or 5 years.


We think it overdelivers at the price.

Top of the price range so far in the mystery cases but certainly deserves a try.

The region has a big emphasis on white wines.


This French region is known for making rich, full-bodied Chardonnays and this one is no exception. An elegant style that enhances any thing you eat with it.  We chose to do tenderloin rings with onion/apple/mushroom topping / baked squash.
