Oliver's Taranga Grenache 2024 d4 Louis Michel’s parcel of Vaudésir

Louis Michel’s parcel of Vaudésir was planted between 1955 and 1968

and one third of the Cabernet gets the royal treatment with eight weeks on skins in a 3

then firming up with great tannins on the back

the variety and complexity of grapes brought in at different stages produced a fantastic wine

it is as much suited to drinking as an aperitif/afternoon tipple on ice as it is to the more obvious after-dinner liqueur slot

Oliver's Taranga Grenache 2024 d4 Louis Michel’s parcel of VaudésirThis Grenache is delicate, pretty and floral with cherry spice, cinnamon and nutmeg jumping from the glass. Beautifully soft tannins, forest berries, plenty of sweet spices and earthy notes. Light on its feet, but plenty of flavour. Perfect with wood oven pizzas a charcuterie plate or grilled meats.
