Vidal-Fleury, Vacqueyras rouge 375 ml half bottle 2022 AlvarinhoSomething special in the way of half bottlesa Ctes du Rhne village wine from the oldest Rhne Valley winery still in operation. Dark fruit, liquorice and rosemary aromas introduce a generous, structured red with a herbal, cherry fresh finish.

All elegance and freshness

spicy finish

lemon and lime zest opens up slowly as this aerates in the glass

but all the elements are so masterfully balanced

and it makes a wonderful aperitif as well as a great match for fresh fruit pastries and desserts

It's a perfect and versatile food wine

there's a variety of delicious

incredibly concentrated 2010 that has awesome notes of pure crème de cassis

with classic

Clouet is made by a father-and-son team whose wine is cellared beneath their pretty

and vermouth is among the most popular of the rediscoveries
