Domaine Martinelle 2019 Ventoux Rouge
French Red
$41.99
Ripe strawberry and kirsch meet black pepper and a light sweep of southern herbs. Grenache leads the 2019 blend, supported by Syrah, Cinsault and old-vine Carignan; fermentation and a short élevage in concrete keep the texture supple and the fruit clear. Juicy, balanced and gently spiced, it suits grilled lamb, sausages or vegetable stew.
Domaine Martinelle 2022 Dentelles Ventoux
French Red
$41.99
Ripe black and red fruit appears with garrigue and sweet spice. The style is lighter and refreshing, with acidity. The blend contains seventy percent Mourvèdre, twenty percent Grenache and ten percent Syrah from organically farmed, southeast-facing terraces on clay-limestone soils. Grapes are harvested by hand and the wine matures in concrete vats. The vineyards sit at higher altitude behind the Dentelles de Montmirail.

Ruby-purple colour with violet reflections accompanies fine wood, toast, prune, fig and macerated cherry. The bouquet is complex and deep, while the attack is highly spicy. Dusty blueberry, violet and graphite are also present. Full-bodied, the wine has firm, powdery tannins and black and blue fruit. Syrah makes up ninety-two percent of the blend, with eight percent Grenache.
