We’ve been fans of the Bonpas wines for a while but we haven’t managed to get any wine out of them...till now! We are delighted to bag this double Gold Medal winning rich, spicy Réserve Côtes du Rhône, particularly thrilling in another tasty Rhône vintage. It is a classic velvety Grenache, enhanced with a little peppery, blackberry rich Syrah. Well ripened in the warm sunshine of 2017, and very moreish – Rhône red at its most appealing best.
