Côtes du Rhone Red 2022

The Côtes du Rhône Red by Clos du Caillou is produced in the Southern Rhône Valley, France, a renowned wine region known for its rich terroir and Mediterranean climate that contributes to the wine's character and complexity.

This wine is a blend primarily composed of Grenache and Syrah grape varieties, typical of the Côtes du Rhône appellation, offering a balance of fruitiness and structure.

The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo traditional vinification methods. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and aromatic complexity. The wine is aged in a combination of stainless steel and concrete vats to maintain its vibrant fruit character and enhance its smooth tannins before bottling.

• Appearance: Deep ruby red color with purple hues.
• Aroma: Intense nose of ripe red fruits such as cherry and raspberry, complemented by subtle spicy and peppery notes.
• Palate: Medium-bodied with smooth tannins, balanced acidity, and flavors of red berries, black pepper, and a hint of earthiness.
• Finish: Persistent and harmonious with a fresh and slightly spicy aftertaste.

This versatile red wine pairs well with a variety of dishes including:

• Grilled red meats such as lamb or beef
• Hearty stews and casseroles
• Roasted vegetables and Mediterranean dishes
• Hard cheeses like aged Gouda or Comté
• Charcuterie and savory pâtés
