About the Winery
Domaine de l’Amauve is a Rhône Valley estate that farms organically, letting the quality of the fruit lead the way. The winemaking is minimal and thoughtful: the wine sees no oak and rests on its lees for several months, building texture and depth while keeping the fruit pure and vibrant.
Region & Grape
The Rhône Valley in southern France is the classic home of Syrah and Grenache, the two grapes at the heart of this blend. Syrah brings dark fruit and structure, while Grenache adds warmth, ripe red fruit, and a generous, round texture. The wine is aged eight months sur lees with no oak, preserving its freshness and clarity.
Tasting Notes
Expect bold, clean fruit on the nose and palate, with the dark-fruited depth of Syrah and the round, juicy warmth of Grenache. The texture is velvety and smooth, and the wine finishes dry and refreshing, free of any oaky weight.
What to Pair It With
