Racines is made mainly from the oldest Grenache vines (averaging 60 years) from one of the southern Rhone’s oldest estates. The full-bodied, richly textured palate is packed with concentrated blackcurrant, raspberry and olive tapenade flavours, backed by savoury spice and plush tannins. Fresh and focused.
