WINE DESCRIPTION
Rotem & Mounir Saouma Magis Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a highly sought-after white wine from a producer with tiny volumes. The wine is made with Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Roussanne, and Bourboulenc grapes hailing from the prestigious Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation. The vineyards feature old vines, which contribute to the wine's complexity and depth of flavor. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including hand-harvesting and gentle pressing, ensuring the preservation of the grapes' natural qualities. The resulting wine is characterized by its rich and opulent style, with a harmonious balance of fruit ripeness and body. While this wine is incredibly rich, its sense of balance is a testament to the skill of its creators.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
On the nose, the Magis Châteauneuf-du-Pape offers a complex bouquet of ripe fresh, and pureed apple, with a hint of peach.The palate is equally impressive, with a full-bodied and waxy texture that coats the mouth. Whilst the finish is slightly warm on account of the alcohol, this wine has the concentration of fruit required to maintain balance. This wine is a perfect choice for those seeking a memorable experience, whether enjoyed now or cellared for up to 10 years for future enjoyment. Serve with whole turbot.

ORIGINS
Winery: Rotem & Mounir Saouma
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
