A Testament to an Austere Year

The Rhone Valley in 2013 posed several testing climatic circumstances, instigating an unnerving dance between winemaker's nous and Mother Nature.

Perfectly epitomising this balance, the 2013 Chateauneuf-du-Pape Cuvee Da Capo unfolds with an exquisite bouquet of dark berries and hint of spice, courtesy of an expressive Grenache-led ensemble.

This courageous endeavour has resulted in a bottle that echoes authenticity and refined complexity.

Possessing intensity yet striking poise, its flavours dance with mature black fruits adorned by traces of earthy complexity and finely-tuned acidity. A well-integrated tannin structure projects longevity, making investment in this impressive vintage an astute choice for discerning investors.
