A classic Côtes-du-Rhône, this wine is produced from organically grown grapes. Grenache and Syrah complement each other in this soft wine with aromas of red fruit and Garrigue. The finish is velvety. Organic is good!

Presentation
Certified organic by Ecocert, Perrin Nature is not only an organic Côtes-du-Rhône but also a great wine. Using our experience in organic farming at Beaucastel (one of the first big estates to turn to organic farming 40 years ago), this wine is a beautiful expression of fruit with delicate and soft tannins.

Reviews
"Ripe and focused, with a lovely beam of plum sauce and dark big fruit carried by graphite and anise notes. The long finish has a red plum note. Drink now."
"Organically grown Grenache with a dash of Syrah. Lovely sweet Grenache red fruit on the nose with a slight meaty/savoury note. Surprisingly light and fresh on the palate, especially given the 14.5%. Tannins make their presence felt but already so silky. Fresh, red-fruited finish."
"Perrin Côtes du Rhône "Nature" ($12.99 at my local wine shop) is a blend of 80 percent Grenache and 20 percent Syrah in this 2007 vintage, which is made entirely from a single vineyard not far from the Côtes du Rhône village Vinsobres, a vineyard with full organic certivaction by Ecocert, an authorized European organic certification panel."
"Made from organically grown grapes and boasting distinctive green lettering, this blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah features concentrated blackberry fruit underscored by hints of woodsmoke and cassis. Drink it over the next severals years. "
