Situated in the south-east of France, near Avignon, Ventoux is blessed with the perfect conditions to make world-class reds. You’ve got a patchwork of ancient soils on rugged hills, hot Mediterranean sunshine, and cold air blowing down from the mountain to keep the grapes balanced and fresh. Winemaker Corinna Kruse Faravel's new vintages have just got here, which is perfect timing as winter seems to have arrived too. So I’ve put together the Martinelle Big Red 6-pack for you to try. In the case you’ll get: 2x Martinelle Ventoux 2022 - a classic Rhône blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre, this is dark, lush and herbaceous with a lovely freshness running through it too. John Wilson raved about it in The Irish Times on Saturday - ‘seductive, big concentrated dark fruits, herbs and well-integrated tannins’ 2x Martinelle Beaumes-de-Venise 2023 - a big yet balanced red from distinctive iron-red soils, in an area better known for fortified wines. Think good Châteauneuf - at a fraction of the price. ‘Textured, pure and very appealing’ according to JancisRobinson.com 2x Clos Léopold Gigondas 2021 - from one of Gigondas’ highest vineyards on the slopes of the spectacular Dentelles mountains - this is more northern than southern Rhône in profile - full of white pepper, vibrant fruit and violets. So delicious! You can order the case on WhatsApp by hitting this link from your phone.
