Why this wine
Cote-Rotie is the northern Rhone's steepest and most celebrated hill, terraced so severely it must be worked by hand. Georges Vernay is the producer credited with saving Condrieu from extinction. Peppery, floral Syrah built for twenty years.
Our advantages:
Description
How it tastes
Intense aromas of blackberries, violets, and a hint of black pepper. Rich and complex with flavours of dark fruits, spice, and a touch of smokiness, balanced by silky tannins.

Domaine Georges Vernay, located in the Northern Rhône, is renowned for its pioneering work with Viognier and its exceptional Syrah wines. Established in 1953, the winery has received numerous accolades for its commitment to quality and terroir-driven wines.
Food and drinking
Good with red meat, poultry & pork and cheese. Built for the long term — decades, if kept well. Serve at 16–18°C.
