Intense aromas of cassis, blackberry, and spice, with soft, ripe, tannins on the palate and a lingering finish.
Enjoy this versatile, food-friendly wine on its own, with red meats (grilled, roasted, charcuterie), or with hearty vegetarian fare.
60% Grenache, 25% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre, 5% Cinsault
“Maclura” is a type of Osage Orange tree (also known by the name Hedge Apple). There are many of these trees on the Chateau grounds, inspiring the name of this cuvée.
James Suckling Review:
A well-crafted, aromatic and textural red. It show notes of dark berries, game, wild herbs, grilled meat and baking spices, with some cloves. Medium-bodied with fine tannins. Layered and highly textural. Spicy and well-composed. 60% grenache, 20% syrah, 10% mourvedre and 10% cinsault. Drink or hold.
