Description

Red wine from the Cotes du Rhone

A fruity, spicy red wine from France with a fresh, full flavor. Delicious on its own, but also pairs beautifully with lightly spiced dishes.

Domaine Alary is considered one of the leading organic producers of the Rhône Cru Cairanne. The wines of father Denis and son Jean-Etienne excel in finesse and drinkability, a particularly impressive achievement in this warm southern French wine region.

Besides Rhône, father and son also make several exceptionally successful regional wines in the IGP Vaucluse-Principauté de l'Orange (once owned by William of Orange-Nassau), including the superb La Grange Daniel. The wine owes its name to the fact that the grapes are partly harvested in the plots surrounding the house of Denis's father, Daniel Alary. The remainder comes from young vines in the Côtes du Rhône.

The wine is a blend of Syrah (40%), Mourvèdre (40%), Grenache (10%), and Cinsault (10%). In the cellar, father and son keep things simple. La Grange Daniel is intended as a no-nonsense "vin de plaisir" that is balanced, smooth, and above all, very enjoyable. Denis and Jean-Etienne have undoubtedly succeeded in this aim. This is one of our absolute Rhône favorites – and all at an incredibly competitive price, and organic too.

House wine of the year!!!

In the commune of Cairanne in the southern Rhône, Denis Alary makes a special red wine with a small percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. This grape variety is not traditionally found in this region and is therefore not permitted in the Côtes du Rhône appellation.

However, Alary's plot yields such excellent results that Denis refuses to uproot the vines. He prefers to downgrade the wine to Vin de Pays rather than sacrifice an old vineyard in the best part of Cairanne. His persistence results in a beautiful unfiltered red wine.
