The vineyard boasts 70-year-old Grenache vines which are deeply rooted in the pebble stones overlooking the picturesque lakes of Petite Camargue. The vineyard also features Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Verdot, and Cinsault, and is known for producing unique, high-end, elegant wines of excellent value.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe vineyard soils are cultivated amongst natural grassland using shallow tillage methods and special attention is paid to the revitalization of vines (using annually prepared biodynamic compost).

Wines from the northern part of the valley tend to be Syrah-dominant (Hermitage and Cote Rotie being the most notable examples), while wines from the southern Rhone are more commonly blends, with Grenache playing a more dominant role. Chateauneuf-du-Pape is the most famous example of a southern Rhone blend, but similar blends are found in wines from Gigondas, Vacqueyras, and the regional Cotes du Rhone title.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSouthern Rhone Red Blend refers to a wide range of grape varieties often blended together to make wines in the southern reaches of the Rhone Valley in the south of France.

American President Thomas Jefferson - himself a wine connoisseur, visited Bordeaux in 1787 - declaring Château Marquis de Terme as one of the 16 best Bordeaux wines he tasted. \\n\\nChateau Marquis de Terme began organic farming on a small parcel of vines with their first organic wine being the 2013 vintage. They are now farming their vineyards entirely organically achieving organic certification in 2017.  Sitting on the doorstep of Margaux, Château Marquis de Terme is emblematic of both how many Bordeaux châteaux were once created and of the famous Margaux terroir. Though a Grand Cru Classé and world-renowned wine, the family owned estate is dedicated to premium wine-making and world class organic practices.

The finest (and most expensive) of these come from the great châteaux of the Haut-Médoc and the Right Bank appellations Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. The legendary reds are complemented by high-quality white wines, both dry styles (particularly from Pessac-Léognan) and the sweet, botrytized nectars of Sauternes.\\n\\nA Bordeaux Blend is any combination of those grape varieties typically used to make the red wines of Bordeaux.

Maxime Graillot, son of the famed winemaker, Alain Graillot has not only taken over the daily operations of his father's estate, but also founded this boutique label with his long-term friend and respected wine-maker Thomas Schmittel. Both work closely with quality growers to and influence successfully winemaking process vinifying, ageing, and bottling. Maxime's devotion to the art of making hauntingly delicious Syrah has been rewarded with an ever growing and highly dedicated following around the world. And so it would seem quite the daunting task for the child of such a luminary to follow in the footsteps of such a giant. Well luckily for us and the wine world.\\n\\nThere are three wines in the range, each crop sourced from a roster of first-rate, cultivated vineyards where Graillot and Schmittel have a close working relationship with the growers.\\n\\nIn terms of volume, Equinoxe Crozes-Hermitage is the ‘poster wine’ of the project. The fruit for this early-drinking Crozes is sourced from a mature, gravelly and organically farmed site in Pont de l’Isère that has not seen any herbicide or pesticide for 10 years.\\n\\nMaxime and Thomas pay close attention to what is happening in the vineyard all year long, decide when to harvest, the way they harvest and the way they make the wine once back at the winery (in Pont de l’Isère). They are very hands-on and take the time to have a relationship with the growers.\\n\\nThe Rhone Valley is a key wine-producing region in the southeast of France. Crozes-Hermitage is an appellation of the northern Rhone valley in France. It covers a relatively large area on the eastern bank of the Rhone river, to the north and south of Tain L'Hermitage town. Much larger than the prestigious Hermitage appellation which it surrounds, Crozes-Hermitage is also much more prolific. In 2011 almost 70,000 hl of wine were produced and sold under the Crozes-Hermitage title – more than the other seven northern Rhone appellations combined.\\n\\nSyrah is a dark-skinned red wine grape. Its origins have been popularly debated, but its modern viticultural home is unquestionably the northern Rhône Valley of eastern France. In Australia, Syrah is the flagship variety and has developed such a distinct personality that it is essentially regarded as a distinct variety, is overwhelmingly (but not exclusively) known as Shiraz.\\n\u0026quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":31683,\"3\":{\"1\":4,\"2\":\"\\\"$\\\"#,##0.00\"},\"4\":[null,2,16711680],\"9\":0,\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"14\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":0},\"15\":\"arial,sans,sans-serif\",\"16\":12,\"17\":0}' data-sheets-textstyleruns=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90\/100 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90\/100 Wine Spectator\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e15.5\/20 Jancis Robinson\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e15.5\/20 Jancis Robinson\u003c\/strong\u003e (2016 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90\/100 Wine Spectator \u003c\/strong\u003e(2016 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e86\/100 CellarTracker - \u003c\/strong\u003e(2016 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e89\/100 Wine Spectator \u003c\/strong\u003e(2015 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e88\/100 CellarTracker - \u003c\/strong\u003e(2015 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRichard Hemming\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Raw, youthful black fruit on the nose, then charming meat and olive notes on the palate.

Wines from the northern part of the valley tend to be Syrah-dominant (Hermitage and Cote Rotie being the most notable examples), while wines from the southern Rhone are more commonly blends, with Grenache playing a more dominant role. Chateauneuf-du-Pape is the most famous example of a southern Rhone blend, but similar blends are found in wines from Gigondas, Vacqueyras and the regional Cotes du Rhone title.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGrenache is a red-wine grape grown extensively in France, Spain, Australia and the United States and is one of the most widely distributed grapes in the world. Grenache is the French name for the grape, but it has a number of synonyms. In Spain, where it is one of the country's flagship varieties, it is known as Garnacha, and on the island of Sardinia it has been known for centuries as Cannonau. In France, Grenache is most widely planted in the southern Rhone Valley and throughout both Provence and Languedoc-Roussillon. It is most commonly found alongside Syrah and Mourvedre in the classic Southern Rhone Blend (notably in Cotes du Rhone wines), and is the main grape variety in Chateauneuf-du-Pape.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clos des Centenaires","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39491344007319,"sku":"CDC-GREVLV19-7506","price":63.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/8685\/files\/CLOS_DES_CENTENARIES_GRENACHE_VIELLES_VIGNES_OLD_VINES_RED_2019_-_SOUTHERN_RHONE_FRANCE.jpg?v=1775444641"},{"product_id":"patrick-of-coonawarra-estate-shiraz-2015-coonawarra-south-australia","title":"Patrick of Coonawarra Estate Shiraz 2015 ~ Coonawarra, South Australia","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-textstyleruns='{\"1\":0}[null,40,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":56}[null,88,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":102}[null,133,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":147}[null,178,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":192}[null,227,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":242}[null,286,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":300}[null,326,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":341}[null,384,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":398}[null,429,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":443}[null,473,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":487}[null,518,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":532}[null,550,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":901}[null,906,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":1338}[null,1350,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":1735}[null,1750,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":2098}[null,2099,{\"5\":0}]' data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":31683,\"3\":{\"1\":4,\"2\":\"\\\"$\\\"#,##0.00\"},\"4\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":65535},\"9\":0,\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"14\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":0},\"15\":\"arial,sans,sans-serif\",\"16\":10,\"17\":1}' data-sheets-value=\"{\u0026quot;1\u0026quot;:2,\u0026quot;2\u0026quot;:\u0026quot;93\/100 - The Real Review \\n91\/100 - Qwine (2014 vintage)\\n95\/100 - Wine Showcase Magazine (2013 vintage)\\n90\/100 'Top Value' Huon Hooke (2013 vintage)\\nGOLD - Wine Showcase Magazine (2013 vintage)\\nBRONZE - Limestone Coast Wine Show (2013 vintage)\\nBRONZE - Melbourne International Wine Show (2013 vintage)\\nBRONZE - Cairns Wine Show (2013 vintage)\\nBRONZE - Great Australia Shiraz Challenge (2013 vintage)\\nBRONZE - Rutherglen Wine Show (2013 vintage)\\n4 STARS - Winestate Magazine (2013 vintage)\\nRecommended - the Real Review (2013 vintage)\\n\\nThe Real Review \\\u0026quot;Deep garnet-red colour with crimson edges.

The valley's winemakers have pioneered two distinctive styles of wine (oaked Chardonnay and dry Semillon) and has retained a strong connection with both of them. The Hunter Valley's most famous wine style is its distinctive dry Semillon, made there since the 1870s. Hunter Valley Semillons are renowned for their ability to improve with age.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eToday, Brokenwood boasts an impressive array of premium quality wines, sourced from 'all the right regions, for all the right reasons', from the Graveyard Shiraz to the Cricket Pitch Sauvignon Blanc Semillon and Cricket Pitch Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Our philosophy is to produce wine that focuses on the unique regional characteristics of the Hunter Valley and premium wine regions throughout Australia.” Iain Riggs, Chief Winemaker \u0026amp; Managing Director, Brokenwood Wines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShiraz is the name given to the dark-skinned Syrah grape when grown in Australia and selected pockets of the New World.

On the East Coast of New Zealand’s North Island is the independently owned, family-run, Te Mata Estate. Owners and staff still work on vineyards that began growing Cabernet, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir back in the 1890s, making it the country’s oldest wine estate. Since 1905, this winery has been winning gold medals globally, which led to these sites becoming the country’s first to be protected by law due to their viticultural history. Te Mata Estate wines are currently available in 45 countries and have been presented at some of the world’s top tables— including to President Barrack Obama, President Xi Jinping, and Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee.\\\u0026quot;\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nRaymond Chan \\\u0026quot;\\\u0026quot;Te Mata Estate was the standard by which every other wine producer could be judged against, as the full range of styles has always been impeccable. In the earlier days, Hawke’s Bay was the scene of New Zealand’s quality wine, so it was very apt to have Te Mata Estate as the point of reference. Even when other regions developed, and Marlborough grew larger, and other varietals such as Pinot Noir became important, one could understand the state of the New Zealand wine industry by how Te Mata Estate behaved or reacted to influences, whether internal, or international.\\\u0026quot;\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nTe Mata Estate is regarded as one of New Zealand’s most important wine producers. It is New Zealand's oldest winery, oldest wine estate and has the oldest winery cellars in the country - in continuous operation since 1895. Coleraine is Te Mata's most acclaimed wine and is often regarded as New Zealand's best red wine. \\n\\nHawke's Bay is located on the east coast of New Zealand's North Island in and around the cities of Napier, Hastings and Havelock North. This historic region has New Zealand's second-largest wine industry (after Marlborough) and is highly regarded for its red Bordeaux Blend wines. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah and Chardonnay are all planted widely across the region. Over the years, the region has won international acclaim for its very high-quality Bordeaux-style reds and full-bodied Chardonnays. Syrah, produced in a classic European style with strong black-pepper flavors, is another grape variety thought to have great potential here.\\n\\nCabernet Sauvignon – Merlot wines are made from two of the world's most famous and most widely grown wine grapes. The pair form the foundation of many of the great wines of Bordeaux, where this classic blend (often dubbed \\\u0026quot;\\\u0026quot;Bordeaux Blend\\\u0026quot;\\\u0026quot;) is thought to have originated. For centuries, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot have been the quintessential Bordeaux wine grapes, but their fame and popularity have now taken them far beyond the banks of the Garonne, Dordogne and Gironde, to the furthest reaches of the wine world.\\n\\nIn California the blend is often labeled as Meritage – providing the producer meets the requirements of the Meritage Alliance. The Australian regions of Coonawarra, Margaret River and Yarra Valley are highly regarded for their unique expressions of the blend. A Bordeaux Blend is any combination of those grape varieties typically used to make the red wines of Bordeaux. Cabernet Sauvignon is widely accepted as a compulsory component of any Bordeaux Blend along with Merlot. In fact, the majority of Bordeaux Blend wines are often made exclusively from a blend of these two varieties. The remaining components are Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec. \\\u0026quot;\u0026quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":31683,\"3\":{\"1\":4,\"2\":\"\\\"$\\\"#,##0.00\"},\"4\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":16711680},\"9\":0,\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"14\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":0},\"15\":\"arial,sans,sans-serif\",\"16\":8,\"17\":1}' data-sheets-textstyleruns='{\"1\":0}{\"1\":501,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":1075}{\"1\":1088,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":1482}{\"1\":1499,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":1800}{\"1\":1810,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":2361}{\"1\":2377,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":2967}{\"1\":2975,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":3427}{\"1\":3443,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":3728}{\"1\":3743,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":4019}{\"1\":4065,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":4844}{\"1\":4856,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}'\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommended - Decanter World Wine Awards \u003c\/strong\u003e(2007 Vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSilver - International Wine Challenge \u003c\/strong\u003e(2007 Vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 Wine Enthusiast\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 - Huon Hooke\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100 - Robert Parker \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e17\/20 Jancis Robinson \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 Sam Kim \u003c\/strong\u003e(2017 Vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100 The Wine Front \u003c\/strong\u003e(2017 Vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100 Tom Cannavan \u003c\/strong\u003e(2017 Vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100 Wine Enthusiast \u003c\/strong\u003e(2017 Vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTe Mata Estate is regarded as one of New Zealand’s most important wine producers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine Enthusiast\u003c\/strong\u003e \"This is an excellent bottling of Awatea, the younger brother of Te Mata's top red, Coleraine.

A prestigious and internationally renowned region, it is not only home to some of the oldest vineyards and wineries in Australia but produces some of its most recognizable and sought-after brands. A striking feature of the Barossa Valley's wine landscape is the presence of very old vines, proudly showcased on many wine labels and during vineyard tours.\\n\\nShiraz, also known as Syrah is a popular red wine. Though the spiritual homeland of this red grape is France, Syrah has been planted throughout the world to great success. It expresses itself differently depending on the climate, soil and regional style.\\n\\nSyrah is typically bold and full-bodied, with aromatic notes of smoke, black fruit and pepper spice. Stylistically, it can be round and fruity, or dense and tannic. And in warmer New World regions like Australia, Syrah is most often be called Shiraz. \\n\\nWinemakers who work in cooler-climate growing regions, both in the Old World and New World, tend to call their wines Syrah. The most famous examples come from the northern Rhône Valley of France, notably Hermitage and Côte-Rôtie. In the New World, in regions like Sonoma Coast, California; Yarra Valley, Australia; and parts of Chile, the wines are called Syrah because they emulate the leaner, acid-driven, savory styles of the Old World French classics.\\n\\nShiraz tends to come from warmer growing climates, namely the South Australian regions of Barossa, McLaren Vale and Adelaide Hills. Stylistically, these wines are lush, fruit-forward examples that embody the warmer, sunnier climate. Shiraz is so important to Australian viticulture that it is the most planted grape variety in the majority of Australian vineyards and has become virtually synonymous with the country's wine regions, and in particular the Barossa Valley.\u0026quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":15299,\"3\":{\"1\":4,\"2\":\"\\\"$\\\"#,##0.00\"},\"4\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":16711680},\"9\":0,\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"14\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":0},\"15\":\"arial,sans,sans-serif\",\"16\":8}' data-sheets-textstyleruns='{\"1\":0,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":157}{\"1\":159,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":177}{\"1\":289,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":304}{\"1\":620,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":634}{\"1\":980,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":1006}{\"1\":1717,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":1742}{\"1\":2086,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":2103}{\"1\":3792,\"2\":{\"2\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":16776960}}}{\"1\":3793,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":3808}{\"1\":4401,\"2\":{\"2\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":16776960}}}{\"1\":4402}'\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion Awards\u003c\/strong\u003e \"It is a graceful wine with a silky texture, red and purple fruits foremost; the tannins superfine, the finish lingering, the aftertaste fresh.

A mandated 50% Grenache is required in the wine, with Mourvèdre and\/or Syrah usually accounting for the bulk of the remaining blend—adding structure, savory tones and color intensity to Grenache’s alcoholic power and lush richness.

Corymbia wines are critically acclaimed, organically-farmed, single-vineyard wines. Founder, Rob Mann is considered one of Australia's best contemporary winemakers. He was the senior winemaker at Hardy’s Tintara, and Cape Mentelle, where during his ten-year tenure the winery was twice awarded 'Australia's Producer of the Year' and Rob 'Australian Winemaker of the Year'. Prior to founding Corymbia he was Senior Winemaker at LVMH’s Newton Vineyard in the Napa Valley.\\n\\nSwan Valley is a sub-region of the Swan District wine region just north of Perth, in Western Australia. The Swan District is Western Australia’s oldest wine region, having been planted by English settlers soon after their arrival in 1829. For almost 150 years it was the only significant wine-producing region in Western Australia and today it's also home to the state's largest winery. Some of Western Australia's finest wines are produced in the Swan Valley.\\n\\nCabernet Sauvignon is probably the most famous red wine grape variety on Earth. It is rivaled in this regard only by its Bordeaux stablemate Merlot, and its opposite number in Burgundy, Pinot Noir. From its origins in Bordeaux, Cabernet has successfully spread to almost every winegrowing country in the world. It is now the key grape variety in many first-rate New World wine regions, most notably Napa Valley, Coonawarra, and Maipo Valley. Wherever they come from, Cabernet Sauvignon wines always seem to demonstrate a handful of common character traits: deep color, good tannin structure, moderate acidity and aromas of blackcurrant, tomato leaf, dark spices, and cedarwood.\u0026quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":13059,\"3\":[null,4,\"\\\"$\\\"#,##0.00\"],\"4\":[null,2,65280],\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"15\":\"Arial\",\"16\":12}' data-sheets-textstyleruns='[null,0,{\"5\":1}]{\"1\":181}[null,184,{\"5\":1}]{\"1\":212}[null,474,{\"5\":1}]{\"1\":504}[null,781,{\"5\":1}]{\"1\":794}[null,1055,{\"5\":1}]{\"1\":1077}[null,1195,{\"5\":1}]{\"1\":1217}[null,2411,{\"5\":1}]{\"1\":2421}'\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSix top rated and affordable Corymbia Tempranillo Malbec Cabernet Sauvignon, from the Swan Valley wine region of Australia.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100 Wine Advocate \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMike Bernie (The Wine Front)\u003c\/strong\u003e \"It is pitch-perfect, medium weight, highly perfumed, and shaped with beautifully ripe tannins.

The Manns have grown grapes and made wine in the Swan Valley, Western Australia's oldest wine-growing region for over a century. Corymbia wines are critically acclaimed, organically-farmed, single-vineyard wines. Founder, Rob Mann is considered one of Australia's best contemporary winemakers. He was the senior winemaker at Hardy’s Tintara, and Cape Mentelle, where during his ten-year tenure the winery was twice awarded 'Australia's Producer of the Year' and Rob 'Australian Winemaker of the Year'. Prior to founding Corymbia he was Senior Winemaker at LVMH’s Newton Vineyard in the Napa Valley.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSwan Valley is a sub-region of the Swan District wine region just north of Perth, in Western Australia. The Swan District is Western Australia’s oldest wine region, having been planted by English settlers soon after their arrival in 1829. For almost 150 years it was the only significant wine-producing region in Western Australia and today it's also home to the state's largest winery. Some of Western Australia's finest wines are produced in the Swan Valley.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCabernet Sauvignon is probably the most famous red wine grape variety on Earth. It is rivaled in this regard only by its Bordeaux stablemate Merlot, and its opposite number in Burgundy, Pinot Noir. From its origins in Bordeaux, Cabernet has successfully spread to almost every winegrowing country in the world. It is now the key grape variety in many first-rate New World wine regions, most notably Napa Valley, Coonawarra, and Maipo Valley. Wherever they come from, Cabernet Sauvignon wines always seem to demonstrate a handful of common character traits: deep color, good tannin structure, moderate acidity and aromas of blackcurrant, tomato leaf, dark spices, and cedarwood.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Corymbia Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42435559817448,"sku":"PUW-CORCS16-V6P","price":320.1,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/8685\/products\/corymbia-tempranillo-malbec-cabernet-sauvignon-organic-2016-swan-valley-western-australia-6-pack-value-pop-up-wine-1-30823711178984.png?v=1775621497"},{"product_id":"chateau-marjosse-pierre-lurton-cuvee-truffiersrouge-2018-bordeaux-fra","title":"Chateau Marjosse Pierre Lurton Cuvee Truffiers'Rouge 2018 - Bordeaux, France","description":"\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--\ntd {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}\n--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-textstyleruns='{\"1\":0}{\"1\":365,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":644}{\"1\":659,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":1858}{\"1\":1873,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":2655}{\"1\":2664,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":3334}{\"1\":3358,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":5419}{\"1\":5443,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":6115}{\"1\":6116,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}' data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":31683,\"3\":{\"1\":4,\"2\":\"\\\"$\\\"#,##0.00\"},\"4\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":16711680},\"9\":0,\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"14\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":0},\"15\":\"arial,sans,sans-serif\",\"16\":9,\"17\":1}' data-sheets-value=\"{\u0026quot;1\u0026quot;:2,\u0026quot;2\u0026quot;:\u0026quot;93\/100 Decanter \\n91\/100 James Suckling\\n91\/100 Jean Marc-Quarin \\n17\/20 Jancis Robinson \\n15.5\/20 La Revue de Vin de France\\n\\nOwned by one of the world's most famous winemakers, Pierre Lurton - president of two of Bordeaux's best-known chateaux, the Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton (LVMH) owned Château Cheval Blanc and Château d’Yquem.\\n\\n100% Merlot..15% new oak\\n\\nDecanter \\\u0026quot;Excellent concentration and fruit definition, one to look out for....from the limestone-dominant plateau of Margaux.

Merlot is often used to great effect in blends, and is known in his capacity to make some of the most famous wines in the world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chateau Marjosse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43830337569000,"sku":"CHAMAR-CUVCHMLE18-7506","price":64.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/8685\/files\/chateau-marjosse-pierre-lurton-cuvee-charmille-rouge-2018-bordeaux-france-pop-up-wine-1-33304078680296.png?v=1775443738"},{"product_id":"patrick-of-coonawarra-joanna-shiraz-2017-coonawarra-south-australia","title":"Patrick of Coonawarra Joanna Shiraz 2017 ~ Coonawarra ~ South Australia","description":"\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--td {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--td {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100 Stuart Knox, The Real Review\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100 The Wine Front \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100 Campbell Mattinson, Halliday Wine Companion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100 Huon Hooke, The Real Review\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100 The Wine Front \u003c\/strong\u003e(2016 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBronze - Erin Larking, Halliday Wine Companion \u003c\/strong\u003e(2016 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100 James Halliday Wine Companion \u003c\/strong\u003e(2014 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90\/100 Huon Hooke, The Real Review \u003c\/strong\u003e(2014 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSilver - The Melbourne International Beverage Competition \u003c\/strong\u003e(2014 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSilver - International Cool Climate Wine Show 2018 \u003c\/strong\u003e(2012 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSilver - Limestone Coast Wine Show 2017 \u003c\/strong\u003e(2012 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSilver - Australian Small Winemakers Wine Show 2017 \u003c\/strong\u003e(2012 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSilver - Wine Showcase New Release Tasting 2017 \u003c\/strong\u003e(2012 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSilver - The Melbourne International Beverage Competition \u003c\/strong\u003e(2012 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBEST IN CLASS - Winestate Magazine 'New Releases' July\/ August 2017 \u003c\/strong\u003e(2012 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStuart Knox, The Real Review\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Dense core into a purple rim.

These are prized for producing low yields of extremely concentrated fruit. Shiraz leads the region's list of award-winning wines, making McLaren Vale a favorite place to grow this grape. Cabernet Sauvignon is another prominent grape variety, along with Grenache and Mourvedre, which, together with Shiraz, make up some of the most acclaimed GSM blends here.

The grapes most commonly used in Côtes du Roussillon Villages wines are Carignan, Grenache and Syrah.Côtes du Roussillon-Villages is a sub-appellation in the northern half of the appellation in the valley of the river Agly, from the best slopes around the valley. The appellation is in the foothills of the Pyrenees and the better wines are normally produced from vines on the slopes, not in the valley floors. It is purely for red wines, with stricter appellation regulations than regular Côtes du Roussillon.\\n\\nThe blend allowed is: Carignan (maximum 60%), Syrah, Mourvèdre (minimum 30% combined), Grenache noir, Lladoner. Note that a minimum of three varieties are allowed in the blend.\\n\\nCarignan (also known as Mazuelo, Bovale Grande, Cariñena, Carinyena, Samsó, Carignane, and Carignano) is a red grape variety of Spanish origin that is more commonly found in French wine but is widely planted throughout the western Mediterranean and around the globe. Along with Aramon, it was considered one of the main grapes responsible for France's wine lake and was a substantial producer in jug wine production in California's Central Valley but in recent years, it has been reborn as a flagship wine for many cellars in the south of France as well as in Catalonia.\\n\\nSyrah is a dark-skinned red wine grape. Its origins have been popularly debated, but its modern viticultural home is unquestionably the northern Rhône Valley of eastern France. In Australia, Syrah is the flagship variety and has developed such a distinct personality that it is essentially regarded as a distinct variety, is commonly known as Shiraz.\\n\\nGrenache is a red-wine grape grown extensively in France, Spain, Australia and the United States and is one of the most widely distributed grapes in the world. Grenache is the French name for the grape, but it has a number of synonyms. In Spain, where it is one of the country's flagship varieties, it is known as Garnacha, and on the island of Sardinia it has been known for centuries as Cannonau.

It is most commonly found alongside Syrah and Mourvedre in the classic Southern Rhone Blend (notably in Cotes du Rhone wines), and is the main grape variety in Chateauneuf-du-Pape.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mas de Lavail","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44143793930472,"sku":"DSIRE-GSY21-7506","price":55.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/8685\/files\/mas-de-lavail-desirade-2020-cotes-du-roussillon-villages-france-pop-up-wine-1-34160085074152.jpg?v=1775449974"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/8685\/collections\/6.6_Collection_Banner_05c6b7cf-81fc-49aa-bbe7-b7c5db7e4b99.webp?v=1738227914","url":"https:\/\/popupwine.com.sg\/collections\/2-2-red-wine-sale.oembed","provider":"Pop Up Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
