Cheeky French – Les Dauphins Cotes du Rhone 2018

WINNER of a Winepilot Trophy for the greatest value wines in Australia.

So now we are taking a little trip to the South of France and you can taste the sunny climate in wines such as this Les Dauphins Cotes du Rhone. It is a mix of Grenache and Shiraz, or Syrah as the French like to call it, and is bursting with juicy red fruits. Layers of pure cherry and cranberry fruit are matched with all the smells of vineyards found around the Mediterranean with a mix of spice, meat and dried herbs. It’s supple and made for early drinking, especially around a BBQ or to wash down some takeaway pizza.
