Description
Domaine Santa Duc have long been one of our favourite southern Rhone producers. The Habemus Papam is made from a selection of old vine Grenache (60%) and Syrah (40%) selected from the Le Pradel and Le Font du Pape plots in the east and centre of Chateauneuf respectively.
The grapes are hand harvested from vines with an aveage age of 60 years old, and go through two manual sorting processes to ensure only the healthiest berries are used in the final blend. Partial de-stemming and gravity fed into stainless steel for fermentation at controlled temperature for 20 – 30 days, with daily punching over. Gentle pressing precedes malolactic fermentation in vats before ageing takes place in a mixture of Stockinger Foudres and terracotta amphora.
The wine itself is a true joy, with plenty of garrigue notes, a big mouthful of dark fruits and yet remarkable restraint. A chateauneuf to be savoured glass after glass.

2022 Gonzo Combat Rouge, Vandal Wine Company
Red Blend
The Gonzo Combat Rouge is a rather unusual field blend of Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc and Viognier which are co-fermented with whole bunch fermentation. The results is a beautifully supple yet plush and ripe red wine with sweet, spicy raspberry and cherry fruit. We've found it drinks best slightly chilled on a warm evening.

2023 Gamay, Domaine Moulin Camus, IGP Loire
Gamay
This 100% Gamay from Domaine Moulin Camus comes from grapes grown on a slope of pure mica schist which gives the wine juicy, rounded red fruits a bit of tautness and minerality. A warmer than normal, sulphur free maceration for three days helps bring out some warmth and roundness to the fruit, making it slightly beaujolais'esque but without the bubble gum/commercial edge that one would normally find in this price range.
