Wine from Gigondas
Filter
Gigondas is a wine growing region in the Southern Rhone Valley of France. Beaumes de Venise is located to the South, and Vacqueyras to the West. The typical Mediterranean climate consisting of dry, hot growing season and limestone soil make it ideal for producing Grenache Red Blends. Appellation laws require 80 percent Grenache in both their red and rose wines. Wines produced in Gigondas may have up to 10 percent of any Cotes du Rhone grape variety except for Carignan. Gigondas wine is powerful and concentrated with higher alcohol content, as the minimum requirement of 12.5 percent. Gigondas produces high quality wines at an increased cost, but still a value compared to wine of Chateauneuf du Pape.

Xavier Vignon Gigondas Rouge is made from 85% Grenache and 15% Mourvèdre.
A purple color with violet tints. On the nose, the beautiful ripeness offers everything an array of black fruits (cherries, blackberries) and toasted spices.
On the palate, fine and concentrated tannins are balanced by a nice salinity. Delicious peppery notes complete the long finish.
Pairs with grilled lamb - Roasted Quails with raisins -Venison with cranberries - Risotto with mushrooms.
Review:
"Swirls of black raspberry ice cream and dark chocolate combine in Vignon's 2019 Gigondas, a blend of 95% Grenache and 5% Mourvèdre from numerous small parcels dotted around the appellation. Matured in a large wooden vat, there's no apparent oak aromas or flavors, just the purity of old-vine fruit, creamy tannins, ample concentration and a bright, vibrant—and long—finish. With its combination of intensity and tension, it should drink well for a decade or more. - Joe Czerwinski"

Riebeek Pinotage is made from 100 percent Pinotage.
The color is an attractive bright, ruby red with a purple rim, typical of a young Pinotage. The flavors of this unique South African cultivar are complex and exciting with ripe plum and fruitcake all beautifully integrated and then finished with subtle oak for a lingering aftertaste.
Lovely with rare beef, barbequed lamb and casseroles. This versatile lighter style of Pinotage is also a lovely combination with spicy chicken.
