An appealing forward, ripe, characterful violet Grenache with a breadth of spice from Syrah and Mourvèdre - the epitome of a friendly Côtes du Rhône.
Lovely with BBQ's and grilled meats - wonderful winter warmer.
Immediately appealing , fresh , plump youthful fruit of redcurrants and black cherries laced with more complex, perfumed oaky nuances of mocha and nutmeg. The fruit lingers to the finish, where the flavours are smoothly textured and beguilingly appetising, beckoning you to have another sip.
Syrah and Viognier co-fermented and aged in barrel. 'Serica' means 'silk' - and this wine shows lush, rich berry fruit, superb concentration, smokey Syrah character lifted with a lick of creamy oak on the finish. In the 14th Century, production of silk, or sericulture, was as widespread as viticulture in southern France.
Elegant berry-fruit aromas backed with a hint of cedar and spice, soft supple tannins marrying into the cherry-fruit flavours result in a wine that is rich and smooth.
