Château Saint Roch Côtes du Rhone AOP Rouge 2021, 0,75 L

The small "reds" from the Rhône often stand out, and this Côtes du Rhône from Château Saint Roch is no exception. Featuring Syrah, Grenache, and Cinsault instead of Mourvèdre, it showcases its character boldly and unembellished.

Château Saint Roch is a winery that deserves much more recognition. It offers exceptional value, providing more wine for your money than most in the Rhône.

This Côtes du Rhône is a stellar example of what the region can offer. Its vibrant emerald red colour invites you in, while the bouquet of red berries, plums, and a hint of herbal spice creates a seamless impression on the palate. Wonderfully fruity, it presents an array of cherry, blackberry, and blueberry flavours. The tannins are ripe and smooth, complemented by a fine herbal note and beautifully balanced acidity. It's an excellent introduction to the world of Côtes du Rhône, leaving you wanting more.

Perfect for a BBQ, especially with lamb or game, and best served slightly chilled, this wine is a delight.
