La Gramiere 2005
by Amy Lillard and Matthew Kling

  • New to the UK, talented husband and wife duo Matt and Amy farm their Cotes Du Rhone vineyards organically and biodynamically
  • And this delicious Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre blend, which goes well with mild curries or a nice juicy steak, is testament to all their hard work
  • With some age behind it, it's now the perfect time to enjoy this fruity little number

"Matthew and I met at our local wine store in the States. He was a customer I had my eye on - and when the opportunity came up to deliver some wine to his house, I took my chance!

A case of wine led to marriage - and since then, wine has always formed a big part of our relationship!"

Finished the last glass of this tonight and just wanted to send a warning out to those yet to try it.

This wine is not filtered - personally, I love that in my wines as it retains a lot of it's subtle flavours. However, it does tend to leave some sediment in the wine.

So, leave the bottle to stand for a couple of hours before you drink to allow the sediment to settle. Either that, or decant.

The quality of the wine more than makes up for any sediment. To be honest, the sediment is a by-product of the way in which the wine is treated to provide such quality.

Exquisite!

Rich, deep, perfumed fruitiness.

A CdR of this quality at this price - Fantastic stuff!

Jammy blackberry nose, nice balance, hint of smoke, longish finish, fruit aplenty, both acid and tannin in pleasing measures. Very impressive.
