Denis Alary’s wines are benchmark Southern Rhônes: spicy, rich and peppery with warm, juicy fruit, they are consistently appealing and a great representation of the region. While Grenache makes up the majority of the vines planted on the 29ha of vineyards, Denis also has an old plot of Syrah that is used judiciously in the cuvée ‘L’Estévenas’. Despite increasing fame and demand, these wines remain great value.
A classic Cairanne ensemble: predominantly Grenache (around 60 %), supported by Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Carignan. Vines grown on a mix of limestone and clay soils, surrounded by garrigue scrub. Harvested exclusively by hand, to allow sorting in the vineyard and another trie at the entrance to the cellar. Old vines, hand-picked and harvested, gently processed to preserve their character.
Tasting note: Aromas of ripe blackberries on the nose mingle with liquorice and a subtle mineral edge. The palate is rich and aromatic, offering a wealth of dark fruit framed by spicy undertones and with silky, well-structured tannins. The wine unfolds with generosity and suppleness with a spicy notes.
Food match: Pairs with with vegetable tian, Provencal-style beef daube, and Mediterranean dishes.
