Chateau d’Or et de Gueules 2019 Costieres de Nimes Rouge ‘Castel Nou’
Tasting Note
The ‘Castel Nou’ is Diane’s tribute to the king of grape varieties in the Southern Rhône: Grenache. a killer effort that exudes opulence and finesse. Diane feels that these hand-harvested Grenache grapes from 80-year-old vines, offer an illustration of the complexity, richness and quality of her terroir.
This wine is a beauty, with its full-bodied, polished, and elegant profile, offering a symphony of rich, ripe aromas and flavours of red and black cherries and currants, accompanied by a complementary array of dried herbs, exotic spices, elderflower and a hint of leather and cinnamon. The Castel Nou boasts serious mid-palate depth, enveloping your palate with its luscious layers. As you savour each sip, ripe and silky tannins gently emerge, leaving a lasting impression on the finish.
