Legends of Rhone Wine Gift

An absolutely stunning red wine from Barossa, possibly the nicest one you might ever try. It is intense, spicy and vibrant and offers immediate gratification. Layers of flavour and a fine and silky texture makes this a must try wine for anyone who likes a full bodied red. Barossa Valley is the homeland for extremely full bodied red wines and this is a worthy example for the only Barossa wine we list. John Duval is nothing short of a legendary winemaker, having spent nearly 30 years in Penfolds and 16 as their chief winemaker. John was at the helm of Penfold's Grange for over a decade and you can taste the majesty in this wine. In case you can't tell, we LOVE it.

This is an exceptional value example of a southern Rhône blend and is composed of 53% Grenache, 35% Syrah, 9% Cinsault and 3% other red varieties. It is a rich, full-bodied and fragrant wine, offering up lively berry fruits on the nose, with a touch of licorice and a hint of black pepper. It is full-bodied and silky with ripe tannins that gently support the cherry, cassis, and herb character. Built in 1767 and located in the heart of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape Appellation, Château de Vaudieu is the flagship estate of the Brechet family. Closerie de Vaudieu is a premium red wine produced in the renowned Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation, and the vines are over 65 years in age and the fruit gains incredible levels of concentration as a result.
