Domaine l’Abbé Dîne Côtes du Rhône Villages 2014 Vintage
Very, very delicious, spicy red made from 80% Grenache, 60 year-old vines. This Côtes du Rhône Villages is intensely perfumed, spicy, peppery, mouthwateringly-satisfying, and better than any Chateauneuf du Pape under £20 in my humble opinion! Good firm tannins make it a great food wine. As Nathalie, the owner puts it; “Le millésime 2014 est dans la souplesse et le velours. Très bons.”

Giravolta Primitivo di Manduria
Based on the huge popularity of “Fellone” I thought we should have a closer look at the Primitivo grape. Here’s one of four more, each with a distinct “terroir”. What’s the Italian for “terroir”, I wonder? This one is distinctive due to the calcareous white soil of the vineyards. Aged for nine months in French oak.

“Zinfandel” Primitivo di Manduria from Felline
With the huge success of Fellone, I decided that Primitivo needed a closer inspection, so here’s one of four new ones, all from Felline down in the south of Italy.This one is a slight variation, being styled “Zinfandel Californiano”. That’s what they call it over there but is a strain of Primitivo all the same. Terroir is Mandurian black soil and the 15% wine was aged for six months in French and American oak.

Verus Pinot Noir, Slovenia
New wine from the gang – their first red – smart Pinot Noir. Verus wines need little commentary. They are all superb, demonstrating what Jancis Robinson called “a purity of fruit” when we shipped their first ever vintage in 2008.

Another smart red from the Estate. Try this varietal which is a minor one in Bordeaux, more common in the Loire, but great here in South Africa.

Domaine de la Pigeade Vacqueyras Red
The southern Rhone allows the best of its different terroirs their own Appellations such as Chateauneuf du Pape, Gigondas …..and Vacqueyras. This red blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre has spent nine months in oak barrels and is a powerful example of the best of the area. Rich, silky and complex red wine with good tannins. Great with a rich foods.
