SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Complements bold, full-flavored foods, grilled meats including marbeled steaks and rack of lamb, rich sauces, black olives GRAPE VARIETIES: Grenache 60%, Syrah 20%, Mourvèdre 20%. Vineyard soil : For this cuvee, we selected rocky parcels abundant with pebbles that allow for aeration and permit the old Grenache vines to flourish on low yields. The result is a concentration of flavor and color. Older Syrah vines come from sandy sub soils that give the wine its characteristic refinement and elegance. PRODUCTION : 550 cases WINEMAKING : The perfectly ripe berries of these hundred year old vines are harvested by hand and rigorously sorted. Each grape variety is vinified separately after total de-stemming and a long fermentation in small vats. Syrah and Mourvèdre are aged in French oak for 8 months. After blending, the wine is aged in barrels in our cellar. After a very light stabilization, the wine is bottled without final filtration; as a result, there may be a little sediment. <LI>SKU: DE03MB7S <LI>Apply my Wine Club Discounts!: No, I'm not a Wine Club member; Yes, I'm a Wine Club member Other products in the category <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/sfwa/Category2" TITLE="Maison Bouachon Rhone">Maison Bouachon Rhone</A>: <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/sfwa/Product3 TITLE="2005 Chateauneuf du Pape La Tiare du Pape">2005 Chateauneuf du Pape La Tiare du Pape</A> -- Famous wine from Rhone Valley, France <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/sfwa/Product15 TITLE="Cotes du Rhone Red 2006">Cotes du Rhone Red 2006</A> -- Cotes du Rhone Les Rabassieres Red <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/sfwa/Product5 TITLE="Gigondas 2003">Gigondas 2003</A> -- Red wine from Rhone Valley <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/sfwa/Product16 TITLE="Gigondas 2005">Gigondas 2005</A> -- Gigondas Syrah/Grenache 2005 <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/sfwa/Product7 TITLE="St. Joseph 2003 (Syrah)">St. Joseph 2003 (Syrah)</A> -- 100% Syrah <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/sfwa/Product10 TITLE="Tavel Rose 2007">Tavel Rose 2007</A> -- Quintessential Dry Rose from Rhone Valley <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/sfwa/Product6 TITLE="Vacqueyras 2005">Vacqueyras 2005</A> -- Vacqueyras Syrah/Grenache 2005 <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/sfwa/Product4 TITLE="White Chateauneuf du Pape 2004">White Chateauneuf du Pape 2004</A> -- 2004 Chateauneuf du Pape La Tiare du Pape White <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/sfwa" TITLE="Skalli Family Wines Americas Products">Skalli Family Wines Americas Products</A> <A HREF="http://www.sfwamericas.com">Skalli Family Wines Americas</A> Skalli Family Wines Americas <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com" TITLE="ecommerce software">ecommerce software</A> powered by Nexternal
