Variety: Grenache, Syrah & Mourvedre
One of the stars of my blind tasting in Rasteau, l’Espigouette’s 2019 Rasteau tastes more like a 2016 – that’s how good it is. A blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Mourvèdre, it starts off enticingly floral and tea-like on the nose, then quickly adds deep fruit notes of cherries, raspberries and even a hint of apricot. It’s full-bodied, creamy-textured and lush, with a long finish.
Bravo! Drink date: 2019-2026.
About Domaine de L’Espigouette
Based in Sablet, Domaine de l’Espigouette has been in the hands of the Latour family for four generations. Now run by Bernard Latour and sons, their wines offer powerful expressions of the differing terroirs of their vineyards. Latour’s grandfather was one of the first to plant Syrah in Vacqueyras in the 1960s and this wine remains the signature of their estate.
L’Atelier by Aramis Vineyards was founded in 2012, dedicated to supplying a hand-selected range of quality wines to the independent on and off trade. From small beginnings we now operate across NSW, QLD, VIC and WA as well as in our home state of South Australia. Our distribution company was founded on our absolute belief that there was nobody better to represent our McLaren Vale brand than our own team. From that point our mission was clear - to bring together a collection of wine that would complement and match the quality of our own, and to present these to premium retail and hospitality trade across Australia. We believe in working collaboratively with carefully selected producers from Australia and beyond, each sharing the same passion and commitment to quality. Inspired by the Ateliers of 19th century Paris, we see ourselves as a meeting place for highly talented craftspeople at the top of their trade. Our portfolio consists of premium boutique wines from across Australia, New Zealand, Italy and Spain, all carefully selected to represent the very essence of their region, but most importantly at approachable price-points. We do not aim to build a trophy cabinet, we believe that you do not have to spend a fortune to drink like a king, and our selection reflects our ability to seek out wines that consistently over-deliver and represent the very best value.
