Esteban Martín, Oak 12 2019
Esteban Martín Oak 12 is a smooth, fruit-forward red with a bit of extra depth from oak ageing. It shows ripe blackberry and plum alongside notes of vanilla, sweet spice and a touch of toast. The palate is rounded and medium-bodied, with soft tannins and a warm, easy finish. It’s a great match for grilled meats, barbecue, or slow-cooked dishes like beef stew. It also works well with hard cheeses, where the wine’s ripe fruit and gentle oak complement the savoury flavours nicely. 'Oak 12' refers to the wine being aged for around 12 months in oak barrels, which adds those subtle spice and vanilla notes while helping to soften and round out the structure.
Les Coteaux Cotes du Rhone Village Boutinot 2023
Domaine Boutinot Les Coteaux Côtes du Rhône Villages is a classic red blend from the southern Rhône, crafted from the very best Grenache and Syrah grapes. Each year, Boutinot selects fruit from top Côtes du Rhône Villages vineyards, enriched with parcels from the highly regarded villages of Séguret and Sablet, to create a wine of exceptional quality and value. Why You'll Love It This is Côtes du Rhône Villages at its finest—smooth, fruit-driven, and beautifully spiced. Unlike many producers who reserve their best fruit for single-village bottlings, Boutinot's philosophy is to craft the finest possible Villages blend, incorporating grapes from prestigious sites like Séguret and Sablet. The result is a wine that punches well above its price point, offering outstanding quality and drinkability. Vineyard & Production Sourced from top Côtes du Rhône Villages vineyards, including parcels from the highly regarded villages of Séguret and Sablet, known for their outstanding terroir. The wine is mostly unoaked, though 15% is part-aged for up to 20 months in French oak barrels, adding richness and complexity without overpowering the vibrant fruit character. Tasting Notes This elegant Côtes du Rhône Villages opens with brambly dark fruit, sweet spice, and subtle oak. Notes of star anise, cinnamon and wild berry add depth, while a supple texture and long, smooth finish highlight the wine's class and balance. Perfect Pairings A versatile food wine, perfect with grilled meats, sausages and mash, shepherd's pie, roasted lamb, puy lentils, mushroom ragoût, rustic pizza, or charcuterie boards. Also excellent with barbecued meats and hearty casseroles. Grape Varieties. Grenache and Syrah
