Newfound 'Gravels' Red Rhone Blend 2022

#7 in Our Top 10 Wines of 2024!

This red has the elegance and fragrance of a Grenache while showing the density and richness of a Carignan, a perfect blend that is elevated by the touch of Mourvèdre for that mid palate richness and depth. An expressive Rhone blend that over-delivers, making it an everyday Red meant for any occasion.

- 

Varietal: 64% Grenache, 22% Carignane, 14% Mourvèdre

Each varietal was vinified individually and blended just prior to bottling. 100% whole cluster with light to medium extraction emphasizing nuance and aromatics. Aged 18 months in their respective vessels. No fining or filtration.

-

Tasting Notes: Bright aromatics, luxardo cherry, sage, dried rose petal. The palate maintains its red fruit intensity and carries through with supple mid-palate that’s more linear than broad. We suggest serving this bottling at cellar temperature or with a slight chill.
