Les Calcinaires Rouge, Domaine Gauby 2020 (Roussillon, France)

The ‘Calcinaires’ Rouge is a blend of Syrah, Mourvèdre, Grenache and Carignan, sourced from a selection of young vines. The grapes are whole bunch macerated for between five and 15 days, followed by fermentation with indigenous yeasts and eight months of ageing in both of Stockinger Austrian oak foudres and stainless steel. These winemaking choices ensure the final wine is fresh and vibrant, with notes of bright red and black fruit, wild rosemary and thyme, complemented by ripe, supple tannins.
