Domaine Rouge Garance 'Feuille de Garance' - Cotes du Rhone red

This 2019 Cotes du Rhone red wine hails from France. It's an Ecocert Certified Organic blend composed of 60% Grenache, 30% Syrah, and 10% Cinsault. The 'Feuille de Garance Rouge' honors the grapevine leaves, as 'without the leaf, the plant cannot live.' The estate takes care of over 20 - year - old vines. The region's climate, with mild fall and winter, and dry, sunny late spring and summer, guarantees the grapes reach ideal ripeness. The clay and Gallet - based soil provides good drainage and protects the underlying clay, keeping the vines cool in warm months. The wine has a deep purple color with garnet hints. It starts with scents of red fruit, earthiness, and spice. Unfined and lightly filtered, it has a smooth palate that balances spiciness with tart cherries and raspberries, and you might detect a touch of granite at the finish. It's very food - friendly, perfect to pair with a delicious lamb dish.

To enjoy this wine, simply open the bottle and let it breathe for a bit before pouring. You can serve it at a cool room temperature. When pairing, remember it goes really well with lamb dishes. As for storage, keep it in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. Don't worry too much about long - term aging, it's ready to drink now and will be at its best within a few years. Just avoid shaking the bottle too much as it might affect the flavor.
