Cote Mas Syrah Grenache 2020

Image ~ August 15, 2022August 15, 2022 ~ Zoltán Németi
I loved the 2019 version of Cote Mas Syrah-Grenache, and while a bit surprising, the 2020 is again a nice bargain.

Back to Rhone – La Vieille Ferme 2021

Image ~ July 5, 2022 ~ Zoltán Németi
A bit of nostalgia, this wine was available in Hungary many years ago, imported by Bortársaság. Then supply discontinued, sadly, but I spot it in the Vinatis webshop when ordering some Loire reds, so here we are.

Jorge Navascues Cutio 2018, Carinena, Spain

Image ~ March 6, 2022 ~ Zoltán Németi
A grenache, finally. I drank less of them in the last few months than it’s usual for me, but here you go. A spanish one that also contains a bit of carignan.

Lovely OZ Grenache: Willunga Clarendon 2015

Image ~ February 5, 2021 ~ Zoltán Németi
As far as I can tell Grenache is on the rise down under, at least some bloggers are enthusiastic about the variety. I can see why, when tasting wines like this Willunga The Hundred Clarendon Single Vineyard 2015 release.

Alain Jaume Les Gélinottes Ventoux 2019

Image ~ January 29, 2021January 29, 2021 ~ Zoltán Németi

I loved the 2016 vintage of this wine, mostly when it was in its primary state, though (2016 Southern Rhone reds quickly went into a dumb phase in my experience, see also here). The 2019 is good, but not on the same level.

2016 Southern Rhones and dumb phase – Clos Saint-Antonin Cotes du Rhone

Image ~ November 16, 2020 ~ Zoltán Németi
