Gourgonnier Les baux de provence red 2022

Meet Gourgonnier's dry red wine: a blend of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre, all from France from the 2022 vintage. A quick word on the grape: Syrah is a bold red grape producing dark, full-bodied wines with blackberry, black-pepper and smoky, savory notes; it is known as Shiraz in Australia. Grenache comes along for the ride as well — a warm-climate red grape giving generous, fruit-forward wines with ripe strawberry and raspberry flavors, gentle tannins and a touch of spice. It's from Les Baux-de-Provence, a striking corner of Provence known for sun-drenched, often organic reds and rosés. It loves rich, meaty food — think grilled red meat, braises and a wedge of aged cheese. Pop it open at cool room temperature — a brief chill on a hot day doesn't hurt.
