The vineyard's sandy and rocky soils, combined with a north-facing exposure, contribute exceptional freshness, elegance, and aromatic complexity. The wine is fermented with whole clusters after an extended cold maceration and matured for approximately three years in a combination of 228L and 500L barrels, without racking, creating a wine of remarkable depth and transparency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe outstanding 2020 vintage delivers a captivating bouquet of black cherry, raspberry, cassis, violet, crushed stone, lavender, and exotic spice. On the palate, it combines the richness and concentration expected from old-vine Grenache with an uncommon sense of lift and finesse. Layers of dark berries, licorice, floral notes, garrigue herbs, and mineral nuances unfold seamlessly across a silky, finely textured structure. Critics have noted that the wine marries the power of the Rhône with the weightlessness and precision more commonly associated with great Burgundy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe finish is exceptionally long, refined, and mineral-driven, with vibrant freshness carrying the wine far beyond its considerable concentration. Often compared stylistically to the great wines of Pignan and even historic expressions of Château Rayas, ARIOSO 2020 is a profound and age-worthy Grenache capable of evolving gracefully for two decades or more.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clos Saouma","offers":[{"title":"1 Bottle","offer_id":45322129145965,"sku":"FRACLOSARIOSO20","price":531.19,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1421\/5622\/files\/Clos-Saouma-Arioso-1-600x600_png.jpg?v=1781101703","url":"https:\/\/worldwine.com.au\/products\/clos-saouma-chateauneuf-du-pape-rouge-arioso-2020","provider":"World Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
