Vieilles Vignes CDR Red 2023

The Vieilles Vignes CDR Red is produced in the Côtes du Rhône appellation, located in the Rhône Valley of southeastern France. This region is renowned for its rich winemaking heritage and diverse terroir.

This wine is typically a blend of traditional Rhône grape varieties. While exact proportions may vary, the blend often includes:

• Grenache
• Syrah
• Mourvèdre

The Vieilles Vignes CDR Red is crafted from old vines ("vieilles vignes") which contribute to concentrated flavors and complexity. Grapes are hand-harvested and undergo traditional vinification processes including fermentation in temperature-controlled tanks. The wine is aged to develop balance and depth before bottling.

This red wine exhibits a deep ruby color with aromas of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and raspberry, complemented by subtle spicy and earthy notes. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with smooth tannins and a balanced acidity, offering flavors of dark berries, pepper, and hints of herbs typical of the Rhône region. The finish is long and elegant.

Vieilles Vignes CDR Red pairs well with a variety of dishes, including:

• Grilled red meats such as lamb or beef
• Hearty stews and casseroles
• Roasted game
• Rich pasta dishes with tomato-based sauces
• Mature cheeses like aged Gouda or Comté
