The Best Kept Secret in Southern France: REDblanc

We have located a biodynamically-produced sulfite-free Cotes du Rhone that is a real glory to behold. REDblanc Biodynamic Cotes du Rhone 2007 is 30% Syrah and 70% Grenache combine to create a Rhone classic. This wine is as clear of an example of terroir-driven typicity that you are likely to find at any price. It comes from a 400 year old winery in the Vinsobre AOC of France's Rhone Valley and is as pretty in the glass as it is on the palate.

REDblanc combines a meaty core of ripe berry fruit with tones that range from herbal to peppery in a package that tends to be medium bodied with good acidity and softer tannins. With age, the wines can gain lovely leathery and black olive notes that makes them a great match for savory and gamy dishes. REDblanc really is a fresh new taste that has blown in with the Mediterranean breezes of France. Its rich ripe berry flavors are completed with the acidic structure and a finish that lingers. It is the best kept secret of Southern France.

REDblanc proposes environmentally-friendly wines for the consumer motivated by ecological goals, guaranteed by the high standards of soil husbandry, bio-diversity and eco-system preservation of Ecocert Organic and by Demeter Biodynamic certification. REDblanc also brings a new dimension to the traditional taste of one of the most beautiful vine-growing regions of the world, and a new impulse towards its essence of perfection.
