NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Rouge Carmín offers complex aromas of ripe red and black fruits, such as blackberries and cherries, with earthy undertones and subtle spice.On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, showcasing bold fruit flavors with a touch of herbs and pepper, typical of Rhône blends. The wine’s soft tannins and vibrant acidity lead to a smooth, lingering finish. Its natural and biodynamic approach contributes to a pure, unfiltered expression of the fruit and the land, making it an excellent pairing for grilled meats, hearty vegetable dishes, and Mediterranean cuisine.

ORIGINS
Winery: Domaine Les Aphillanthes
Region: Rhone
The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.CUSTOMER RATING
