Côtes du Rhône AOC - La Rocaille

Côtes du Rhône AOC - La RocailleLa Rocaille from the Côtes du Rhône shows what is in the region. A strong ruby red with light reflections lies in the glass. The nose is filled with an intense aroma of lush fruit, which is mirrored on the palate, where it leaves a fresh juiciness and fruity richness of blackberries and ripe fruit. Together with a restrained acidity and velvety soft tannins, La Rocaille forms a refreshingly smooth structure that can act on the palate with an intense finish. Vinification of the La Rocaille Côtes du Rhône The grapes come from young Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah vines, which the cool Mistral tugs and shakes incessantly . Protective help the vines get from the characteristic, stony soils (French: La Rocaille), whose pebbles are heated by the sun during the day to evenly release the heat at night. This allows the grapes to ripen gently and provides intensity and the juicy richness. Food recommendation for the La Rocaille We recommend the La Rocaille with spicy, dark dishes such as venison leg in prune sauce or braised ox cheeks with napkin dumplings.
