THE SOUTHERN GRENACHE-SYRAH DUO<br />
In the Rhone Valley, many appellations and growths have<br />
overhauled the aromatic profile of their wines, both blends<br />
and single varietals. Vinsobres is one such example. The wines,<br />
which were very full-bodied in the 1990s, are now fruitier<br />
and fresher. Great efforts have been made in Cairanne, where<br />
the grapes must be harvested by hand, old vines are seen as a<br />
legacy that needs to be protected, grape sorting is mandatory<br />
and very few sulphites are added.<br />
