Our versatile take on France’s Châteauneuf-du-Pape is made with Grenache, Mourvèdre, Couinoise and Carignane.
Winemaking
Proprietary custom blend each vintage and aged in neutral oak, this crowd-pleasing wine strikes a perfect balance between bright red fruit, spice and earth.
Vinification: In open top fermenters; punched down 1-2 times/day
Aging
10 months in neutral French oak barrels (>6 years old)
Nose
A bold, potent wine. Strong mineral and savory accents wrap around a core of bright, red-toned fruit. The purity of the fruit is striking, but this needs air, as it is a serious wine.
Palate
A medium-bodied weight, elegant texture and versatility.
Food Pairing
Year after year, our Pape Star remains a fan favorite for its medium-bodied weight, elegant texture and versatility when it comes to pairing wine and food.
