About this Wine

Roche Audran's beliefs are based on a love of nature and a respect for the environment. Biodiversity and the preservation of flora and animals are key to their vine-growing philosophy. "Out of respect for mankind, for our health, for the natural character of our vineyard and in order to maximise the pure expression of these fabulous terroirs through our wines, we use only natural products. This approach enables us to maintain the fertility of the soils and to protect our vines and the nature surrounding them." Vincent Rochette – Artisan Winemaker

Black cherry colour with crimson undertones, an unique aroma of red fruits (cherry, raspberry), and touches of jasmine. Full-bodied and supple, with a flavour of crimson fruits and delicate, silky tannins. Excellent duration with lingering freshness. A superb wine that is ready to enjoy now or may be cellared for 2 - 3 years.

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.
