Supple Merlot and firm Cabernet complementary. Taut saline Albariño and crisp Sauvignon Blanc in whites.
The word of the wine: Vaccaresis
Black grape variety, one of the 13 of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, which can be used in a blend in this appellation and other neighbouring AOCs (Côtes-du-Rhône, Gigondas...). It produces a floral, elegant and fresh wine, which balances the warmth of the Grenache. It is rare.
