Famille Perrin Rasteau - L'Andéol - 2016

Rasteau benefits from the peculiar Southern Rhône climate. For the most part the Grenache is facing south and protected from the mistral, enabling it to mature particularly well. The wine develops aromas of figs, dark chocolate and a texture typical of the appellation.

This wine offers a generous nose with spicy notes underlined by black fruit (kirsch cherries). The attack is frank and continues with a beautiful volume around tight tannins, aromas of spices and some floral notes.

"Alluring rooibos tea, warm anise and singed mesquite notes lead the way for silky-textured raspberry and blood orange fruit flavors. Drink now through 2020."
