Details and technical informations about Winery Andrines's Les Pitchouns Côtes du Rhône.
Discover the grape variety: Xinomavro
Structured, taut reds with a clear ruby robe that quickly evolves towards tawny, firm tannins and sharp high acidity (hence its name, xino-mavro = acid-black), with aromas of red cherry, sun-dried tomato, black olive, dried herbs, spice, leather and balsamic notes. Fine ageing potential, often compared to Nebbiolo. Absolute star of Naoussa PDO in Greek Macedonia, also Amyndeo PDO. Very late-ripening autochthonous Greek variety.

The wine region of Côtes-du-Rhône
Accessible reference for Mediterranean reds: dominant Grenache as king (≥50% in the south) - supple and fruity with notes of cherry, strawberry, garrigue, pepper and a touch of sweet spices, round tannins. Fleshy Syrah (blackcurrant, violet, black pepper), dense Mourvèdre, Cinsault and Carignan in support. In the north, racy, deep Syrah solo. Generous rosés and floral whites (Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Viognier).
The wine region of Rhone Valley
France's 2nd-largest AOC vineyard, two complementary worlds. Northern: pure Syrah in signature reds (Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, Cornas), deep and peppery with blackberry, violet, black olive and smoked bacon notes, exceptional ageing. Opulent Viognier whites (Condrieu, apricot, flowers) and ample Marsanne-Roussanne. Southern: sun-soaked Grenache blends at Châteauneuf, Gigondas, Vacqueyras (candied fruit, garrigue).
The word of the wine: Polyphenols
Substance contained essentially in the skin of the grape. The main ones are anthocyanins, which give red wines their colour and tannins.
