Biodynamic rouge. Culled from an assortment of different terroirs – clay-limestone, galets roulés and sandy parcels – Mas de Libian’s cracking entry level is based on high grown Grenache (75%) with roughly equal amounts of Mourvèdre and Syrah (all destemmed). There is also a little fruit from the Estate’s young plantings of two southern Rhône natives; Counoise and Vaccarèse. Hélène tells us that, at this early stage, Counoise is adding complex spice and freshness while the Vaccarèse brings bright cherry fruit and again, freshness. Pétanque refers to the popular Provençal game of boules, and this wine is correspondingly built for early drinking with friends in casual settings. There’s a short five-day maceration and the wine is raised exclusively in concrete tank. It’s bottled unfiltered, with only a smidge of sulphur at bottling (the juice sees no other sulphur). Delicious, crunchy freshness is the name of the game here— a brilliant perfume of red flowers, orange rind and grenadine fill the air when the wine is poured, leading to an crunchy, juicy, electric palate that has all the aforementioned characters plus a lick of fresh lavender and thyme. Simply a delicious picture of the high Ardèche and a stunning value.

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.
