Product Notes

Domaine Santa Duc Gigondas Les Hautes Garrigues wine is an ethereal blend of Grenache and Mourvedre, sourced from the sun-drenched slopes of Southern Rhone, France. This robust and complex red wine reveals an intense nose of ripe cherries, spicy cloves and subtle garrigue aromas. On the palate, it delights with rich, luscious dark fruit flavours, velvety tannins and vibrant acidity. Its long-lasting, spicy finish testament to the depth of its character. Aged in oak barrels, this wine showcases the quintessential Southern Rhone style, offering opulence, balance and elegance in every glass. Serve with roasted meats or mature cheeses.
