Cotes du Rhone Domaine Lafond Roc Epine 202470% Grenache, 30% Syrah From organic farming, this Ctes du Rhne red AOP 2023 from Domaine Lafond Roc Epine comes from a stony and clay limestone soil for one plot, sandy and rolled pebbles for the second. Domaine Lafond wants to bring freshness and good fruitiness to a powerful wine from the Rhne Valley. Deep in colour, with expressive youthful fruitiness on the nose blackberry and raspberry alongside earthy spices. Medium full, with easygoing tannins

Their natural disease resistance means they can be managed through manual methods alone

followed by bright citrus layers

where a meticulously tended vineyard

passing down traditional winemaking techniques and local know-how from father to son

made in stainless steel

driven by fresh acidity that carries clean fruit and a subtle savoury-mineral note

but we think are delicious

known for it's great gastronomy

Freshness dominates throughout

The palate is dense and serious

Pairs beautifully with a cheeseboard
