Hugo Vercasson, La Rouge 2023 Classic Without a doubt one ofPlace: Rhne, France Grape: Syrah Vibe: Peppered Perfectly poised between freshness and flavour. Extraction here is all whole bunch and gentle, coaxing out silky smooth tannins that frame the peppered, herb leaning fruit beautifully. Aged in amphora to let the wine sing, with no oak to weigh it down. New wave St Jo is everything I want to drink this autumn. Do the thing. ABV: 12. 8%
