L'Olivia

2011 Gigondas Red Blend

Gonnet L'Olivia is a captivating red blend hailing from the esteemed Gigondas region, known for its breathtaking landscapes and rich vinicultural heritage. This 2011 vintage showcases a deep ruby color that entices the eye and hints at the complexity within. With a medium-bodied structure, the wine reveals an enticing balance that is complemented by high acidity, resulting in a refreshing yet robust mouthfeel. The fruit intensity is prominent, with luscious notes of ripe dark berries and cherries weaving seamlessly with underlying hints of spice and earthiness. Tannins are notably firm, providing a strong backbone that promises aging potential while contributing to a beautifully layered flavor profile. The wine is also impressively dry, allowing its expressive fruit character to shine without overwhelming sweetness, making it a splendid companion for a variety of hearty dishes.
