Clefs Des Murailles Vacqueyras – 2018

Grenache, syrah, mourvèdre
Old vine
Vacqueyras (Southern Rhône)

Winemaker Phanette Double’s family has been making wine in the Rhône Valley since 1864. That generational knowledge pays off in this 2018, with an intense bouquet of wild fruits, strawberry and blueberry in the nose, followed by a graceful, surprisingly well-structured explosion of fruit (plus a hint of licorice?) in the mouth. Cellar up to 2028.
