This is our third year working with Maureen Paillet, and the thing that attracted us in the first place - a really fruit-driven approach to her wines - is very much in evidence in this red. This mix of grapes is one of the classic Rhône combinations, given a sunny Mediterranean twist. The raspberry and peppery character of the Grenache is very much in evidence, with splashes of damson and black cherry fruit from the Shiraz.
