WINE DESCRIPTION
Gramenon's Sierra du Sud is a compelling embodiment of the synergy between the rugged terrain of the Southern Rhône and the passionate winemaking philosophy of Domaine Gramenon. This red wine is primarily crafted from Syrah grapes, selected from the estate's organically farmed vineyards. It has been fermented with native yeasts and matured without the addition of sulfites, and is aged in a mix of old and new oak barrels. This approach allows the true character of the Syrah grape to shine through, resulting in a wine that is both authentic and expressive.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
It greets the nose with an intoxicating bouquet of dark berries, black cherries, and a hint of violet.As it unfolds on the palate, the wine reveals a rich tapestry of flavors - ripe plum, blackcurrant, and a touch of peppery spice, characteristic of the Syrah varietal. The texture is lush yet refined, with well-integrated tannins that provide structure without overpowering the wine's natural vibrancy. There's an underlying earthiness, a nod to its terroir, which seamlessly blends with a subtle smokiness from the oak aging. The finish is long and memorable, leaving a trail of dark fruit and a whisper of herbal notes.

ORIGINS
Winery: Gramenon
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
