The Lunar Apoge range is one of multiple brands the Domaine Des Carabiniers Estate produce. They are a family-owned Estate in the Rhone Valley with 50 hectares of vineyards. All vineyards are farmed using biodynamic practices.
Here we have a delightful blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre which is sourced from an organic vineyard in the South of the Rhone Valley, near Avignon. Average vine age of 35 years.
Night harvest to avoid oxidation and the use of SO2, keep freshness and protect the aromas. Fermentations are carried out with natural grape yeasts, at a high temperature of 32 °, followed by a long maceration under pomace, which can last up to 15 days. The extraction of anthocyanins and fine tannins takes place during this period. To round off this power, long and meticulous work on fine lees extracts aromas and structure.
A very aromatic blend, lots of berries and spices, especially raspberries. The palate is medium bodied, the notes from the nose continue through with some added complexity of liquorice, smokiness and some darker fruit. Quite powerful but well balanced and great length. Excellent drink.
To enjoy all year round, with meats in sauce, cold cuts and cheeses. Excellent with spicy cuisines.

Wines of Rhone Valley
The Rhone wine region is situation in the south of France in the Rhone Valley. The region is split into north and south with distinctively different winemaking styles. In the north, the main grape used is Syrah and is sometimes blended with white varietals. In the south however, reds are a blend of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Carignan and Cinsault. You may be familiar with this sort of blend; in Australia it is labelled GSM.
Wines are produced under various Appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) designations. The most prestigious of which is Chateauneuf-du-Pape. You may also have heard of other AOC names such as Gigondas, Hermitage, Lirac, St Joseph. Wines coming from these and other AOCs are all on the higher end of the market.
On the value end we have wines produced in Cotes-du-Rhone AOC. Cotes-du-Rhone often refers to wines made in the Rhone Valley that do not fall under any other AOC, often from the flatter areas around Southern Rhone. However, it also does include the fringes of well-respected northern appellations as well. In terms of volume, a majority of Rhone wine falls under the Cotes-du-Rhone AOC and it offers some of the best value in France and even some first-rate and age-worthy reds.
Full-bodied and flavourful white wine blends are also made in the region. These are typically a combination of Grenache Blanc, Marsanne, Roussanne and Viognier.
