Details
80% Grenache meets 20% Syrah here in what is a reply classic Rhône valley blend. This wine is delicious, with plenty of ripe berry fruit appeal. We love the plummy red berry accent, hemmed in beautifully by a slightly gamey, peppery finish. Taut tannins make this a reasonably complex number - yum!

Pairing guide
A good Grenache blend is hard to beat when it comes to satisfying flavours and food-pairing versatility, and this bottle from Matagot is no exception. We loved pairing this wine with a chicken and chorizo traybake, but it’s equally good with all your favourite slow-cooked red meat casseroles and hotpots, just as it is with a roast leg of lamb, whole roast duck or chicken (with all the Sunday roast trimmings, naturally) and even with Indian takeaway classics like tikka masala. Puttanesca or bolognese will work well too, and it’s also great with homemade burgers, stuffed mushrooms, and bistro favourites like cassoulet.

Wine region

Southern Rhône, France
Picture a land of sunny skies and warm, gentle breezes, where the grapes ripen to perfection and the wine flows like water. This is the southern Rhône, a magical place where the wines are rich, spicy, and oh-so-delicious. From bold, full-bodied reds to crisp, white wine made in a range of styles, there's a wine for every palate in the southern Rhône. This is a warm region in southeastern France with a Mediterranean climate, most famous for its red wines, made from grape varieties such as Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre from world-famous appellations such as Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Vacqueyras. And with so many charming wineries to visit and delicious wines to taste, it's no wonder that people flock to this corner of France year after year. So why not join them, and let the southern Rhône cast its spell on you too?
