Mas des Restanques Gigondas AOC

Why we love this tipple

“Discover the rich and layered character of Gigondas AOC by Mas des Restanques, a red wine that showcases the robust flavours of the Rhône Valley. This wine is a testament to the region’s ability to produce reds with remarkable depth, complexity, and a sense of place. On the nose, Gigondas AOC offers an intriguing mix of aromas—nettles and bramble lead the way, followed by the juicy scent of red and black cherries, blackcurrant, and redcurrant. A spiced backdrop of nutmeg, vanilla liquorice, and black pepper adds warmth, while the fruity notes of black plums, red apple skin, and blueberry round out the bouquet. The palate is a vibrant blend of redcurrant, raspberry, and cherry—both red and black—accented by the spicy bite of black pepper and the smoothness of vanilla. Tobacco and forest fruit compote add layers of complexity, with a subtle hint of girolle mushrooms offering an earthy finish. The tannins build steadily, complemented by great acidity that keeps the wine fresh and lively. The fruit lingers long after the last sip, making Gigondas AOC a wine that leaves a lasting impression. A must-try for lovers of Rhône Valley reds, this wine beautifully captures the essence of Gigondas.”
