Terre Des Aines

2010 Gigondas 80% Grenache 20% Mourvedre

The Montirius Terre Des Aines from the Gigondas region is a splendid red wine that showcases the exceptional quality of the 2010 vintage. Composed of eighty percent Grenache and twenty percent Mourvèdre, this wine presents a vibrant ruby hue that captivates the eye. On the nose, it offers an inviting bouquet of ripe blackberries, cherries, and subtle hints of herbal spice, giving it an aromatic complexity that is truly delightful. The palate follows suit with flavors that are both rich and expressive, revealing layers of dark fruit, earthiness, and a touch of anise. The wine features a medium body, combined with a bright acidity that enlivens the senses and enhances its food-friendly nature. Tannins are well-integrated, providing a firm structure without overwhelming the wine's fruit characteristics. This Grenache-dominant blend is beautifully dry, making it an excellent choice to enjoy alongside hearty dishes or simply on its own.
