Cinsault 2021, Chateau La Borie, France

What a colour. Just a short maceration of Cinsault grapes results in this vermillion-coloured wine that's teetering on being a dark rosé. Château La Borie is a beautiful property located in glorious garrigue-scented countryside at the northern end of the southern Rhone. It lies just outside Suze La Rousse. There's definitely a herbal note in this wine and nice red fruits, but it isn't fruity. A great red to have with fish, chicken and salads.
