About the wine
Delectable aged red made using premium grapes from Provence's golden triangle
-
After Angels lapped up his first two rosé wines, Benjamin decided to go a little left-field with his latest creation. While Provence is best known for its rosé, he’s selected special grapes from the ‘Triangle d’or’ (that’s ‘golden triangle’ to us anglophones) of the region to create a classy red blend he hopes you’ll love just as much as his pink kit.
-
On first taste, you can tell this is a wine that’s been ageing beautifully since 2016, it’s harmonious on the palate with nice round tannins and a great maturity, like good Bordeaux. You get delectable notes of red cherries and coffee, and a hint of vanilla from 12 months maturing in French and American oak barrels.
-
Down Benjamin’s neck of the woods, they’d guzzle this wine down with grilled spare ribs and stuffed med veg in the sunshine. So why not treat yourself to a taste of that southern French lifestyle at home? Get the charcoals firing, pour yourself a big glug of Rouge, then lay back on the sun lounger with your eyes closed… you’ll be dreaming you’re on the Cotes de Provence.
