Cornas Rouge "Chante Perdrix" 2020 - Delas Frères

A red wine from the Rhône Valley made solely from Syrah. The grapes are grown and harvested by hand on terraced vineyards on the banks of the Rhône, on predominantly silty soils. After harvest they are taken to the cellar, where they ferment in open concrete vats with cold maceration followed by temperature-controlled fermentation. Ageing lasts 12-14 months in wooden casks. It is a full-bodied, complex and spicy red, suited to red meats and flavoursome white meats. On the nose it shows blackcurrant, sour cherry and ripe dark fruit, developing into delicate smoky, spicy, pepper and liquorice notes. The palate is well structured and glyceric, with good freshness, fine tannins and a long spicy finish.
