Gossamer pink
concentrated and vibrant wine is tight in tannins and ideally needs further aging
with angular and drying tannins
A perfect balance of sweetness and acidity leads to a long and sensual finish
on the pallet it is fresh
Clos de l'Oratoire des Papes Chateauneuf-du-Pape Rhone 2023 Awatere Valley Gossamer pinkMedium deep garnet red colour. Pure and layered nose, complex with notes of fine leather, tobacco, cedar wood, garrigue, ripe cherry, cassis, and roasted black pepper. The palate shows good density and volume, finely rounded with refreshing tannin, nice grain and polish, with sweet fruit flavours, balanced by vibrant bay leaf and mint notes. Warm and ripe but with well kept freshness and a long, powerful finish.
