Wine:
The 2021 Red Syrah Domaine des Gardes IGP Collines Rhodaniennes is a pure Syrah from sandy soils, aged exclusively in vats, with a strong northern character. The result is a fresh, deep and intense juice, perfectly ripe, with notes of violets and black fruits. It's an elegantly infused juice, pure and fresh, certainly still very young, with delicate tannins, but already so irresistible! A complete success at this price level.
