  This Châteauneuf-du-Pape is produced from a blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre grapes and comes from old, low-yielding vines grown on sparse, boulder-covered soils around the ancient village of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, in the southern Rhône Valley.
  It is rich and flavoursome, with a lovely smoothness, plenty of spicy fruit flavours, and displays a great deal of complexity
