Created by Julián Chivite as a homage to his great friend and top Spanish chef José María Arzak. This food-friendly rose wine is made up of a blend of 54% Garnacha and 46% Tempranillo. Intense on the nose with strawberry, pomegranate, raspberry, blackberry and rose petals at the end. Balanced and satisfying mouthfeel. Long persistence on the finish with notes of cherry in the aftertaste. Delicious!

2017 Châteauneuf-du-Pape ‘Cuvée Barberini’, Domaine de la Solitude *Magnum*
£11000Add to BasketDomaine de la Solitude’s wines are renowned for their characteristic elegance whilst expressing the true origins of their terroir.
The Cuvée Barberini is a tribute to the founding fathers of the Estate and is made only in the best years from the best parcels of old vines of Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah. This Domaine has one of the best terroirs in Châteauneuf-du-Pape with its abundance of rounded quartzite stones, known as “Galet Roulés” terroir. These stones absorb heat during the day then radiate it at night, promoting full grape maturity. The grapes are manually harvested, once each variety has reached phenological ripeness. 2017 is classic Rhône vintage for reds and this wine is no exception. Well textured, ripe, full-bodied – delivering rich black fruits, mocha expresso and a subtle hint of smoke. Smooth on the palate with integrated tannins and a lingering finish, this is a traditional and elegant Châteauneuf.
