Description

Red wine from the Cotes du Rhone

Fruity spicy red wine from France with a fresh full taste. Nice to drink as such but also very good to combine with lightly spiced dishes.

Domaine Alary is considered one of the leading organic producers of the Rhône-cru Cairanne. The wines of father Denis and son Jean-Etienne excel in finesse and drinkability, a particularly fine achievement in this warm southern French wine region.

In addition to Rhône, father and son also make some particularly successful regional wines in the IGP Vaucluse-Principauté de l'Orange (once owned by William of Orange-Nassau), including the magnificent La Grange Daniel. The wine owes its name to the fact that the grapes are partly harvested in the plots around the house of Denis' father Daniel Alary. The rest comes from young vines in the Côtes du Rhône.

The wine is a blend of Syrah (40%), Mourvèdre (40%), Grenache (10%) and Cinsault (10%). In the cellar, father and son keep it simple. La Grange Daniel is intended as a no-frills 'vin de plaisir' that is balanced, supple and above all very tasty. Denis and Jean-Etienne have certainly succeeded in this aim. This is one of our absolute Rhône favourites - and that for an unbelievably sharp price and organic too.

House wine of the year!!!

Denis Alary makes a special red regional wine in the commune of Cairanne in the southern Rhône with a small percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. This grape variety is not traditionally found in this region and is therefore not permitted for the Côtes du Rhône appellation.

However, the Alary plot gives such a good result that Denis refuses to uproot the vines. He would rather downgrade the wine to Vin de Pays than sacrifice an old vineyard in the best part of Cairanne. His persistence leads to a beautiful unfiltered red wine.
