E Guigal Gigondas (2019)
750mL / Rhone Valley / France
Guigal Gigondas 2019 is a red wine from the Southern Rhône Valley region of France. This full-bodied wine is made primarily from Grenache, with smaller amounts of Syrah and Mourvèdre blended in to provide additional complexity. The wine offers aromas of ripe dark fruit, black pepper, and hints of leather and earth. On the palate, it is rich and full, with flavors of blackberry, black cherry, and spice, and a long, satisfying finish.
The 2019 vintage had ideal growing conditions, with warm, sunny weather throughout the growing season. This allowed the grapes to ripen fully and develop their complex flavors. The wine was aged for 18 months in oak barrels, which added additional depth and complexity to the final product.
