LA VIEILLE FERME ROUGE 2022

This juicy mouthful of red is one of the best under this label for years. Meaning 'the old farmhouse', this wine hails from the red Mediterranean soils and chalk debris of the slopes of Mount Ventoux near the town of Mazan in the south of the Rhône Valley. ​Often touted by international wine critics as one of the great wine values of the world, this blend of Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault and Carignan is warm and spicy with lashings of red fruits – raspberries and cherries – a touch of earth, and round, deliciously supple tannins. A friendly and fruity wine made to be enjoyed at anytime.​

Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"The Perrin Family, also owners of the famous Château de Beaucastel, search for the most suitable terroirs to produce a fresh and fruity wine. Unpretentious, this is the archetypal pleasure wine. Authentic, genuine and tasty. The vineyards are located on the slopes of Mont Ventoux. The altitude offers freshness, which provides a good acidity level to the grapes. The wine is, therefore, fresh, fruity and well balanced.

Pretty purple colour with shiny reflections. The nose reveals a seductive bouquet of red fruit and spices. Full of delicacy, the palate is full of freshness and well balanced, with aromas of cherries and very soft tannins, giving this wine great drinkability."

4 Stars Cuisine Australian Shiraz Tasting, June 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"Deep ruby to the rim with herbal notes coming through the ripe berry flavours on the nose with some reduction evident. The palate is lifted, fresh and lively with spices and roasted nuts working in harmony with the bright berry-fruit flavours."
