Moulin de la Gardette 'Gigondas' 2020
Region: Southern Rhone, France
Grapes: Grenache, Mourvedre, Syrah
Vineyard: Organic
Cellar: Native yeast fermentation, unfined, unfiltered, low added sulphur
About: Vinified from whole bunches and aged primarily in old foudres this is an extremely fine and elegant example of Gigondas. It has an attractive red cherry colour, bramble fruits with menthol and pine on the nose, and an amazing palate, offering beautifully judged raspberry and blackberry old viney fruit, liquorice, leather, hint of violets, nutmeg and cinnamon stick, relieved and lifted by a juicy berry acidity and a saline lick, all held together and enhanced by fine grained tannins.
