Mas des Restanques Vacqueyras 2020 750ml

The 2020 Vacqueyras is also brilliant. Based off 55% Grenache, 35% Syrah, and the rest Mourvèdre, it’s medium to full-bodied and seamless, with silky tannins, notes of new leather, ample candied strawberry and black raspberry fruit, and a great, great finish. It should deliver the goods for 7-8 years.

Varietal

Red Rhone Blend

The Rhone region of France has been producing superb quality white blended wines for centuries, and is a region highly respected and esteemed around the world, with plenty of New World countries keen to emulate the styles and techniques displayed by the historic wineries and skilled vintners of the area. The secret to the Rhone’s success when it comes to blended white wines is the careful and expert selection of certain grape varietals, which each lend special features to the blended wine and bring balance and harmony to the bottle. Most commonly, blended white Rhone wines feature no more than two grapes of either the Viognier, Rousanne, Marsanne or Grenache Blanc varietals, and are renowned for their exceptional flavors and highly aromatic, floral character.
