Collines Rhodaniennes Syrah Les Jardins de Chavagnac, Thomas Farge

Grown organically on the rolling hills that surround the Northern Rhône's famous crus, Les Jardins de Chavagnac is wonderfully fresh, juicy and easy to love. Bursting with blackberries, ripe cherries and wild blueberries, it has all the classic Syrah hallmarks, but in a lighter, more approachable style. A crack of black pepper, a handful of violets and a touch of savoury olive character add complexity without weighing things down. Smooth and silky on the palate, it's packed with vibrant fruit and finishes with a refreshing lift that keeps you coming back for another glass. A brilliant midweek red that works slightly chilled, alongside charcuterie, grilled sausages, burgers or a simple pizza night.
