RHONE, FRANCE

From the Winery: The cuvée Metamorphose is produced from 3 parcels. The blend is 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah. The soils here have 20 to 50% of pebbles and the Grenache vines are on average 70 years old, giving the wine a lot of concentration. The grapes are destemmed and then put in a concrete tank cooled for a slower fermentation. The maceration lasts 28 days with daily pump-overs. The wine is matured in cement tanks for 10 months. It is not fined but a gentle filtration is carried out before bottling.

Pair with: Blue cheese burgers, loaded fries, pork chops and desserts.
