La Gramière is a blend of 80% Grenache, 15 % Syrah, and 5 % Mourvèdre, vinified in concrete tanks, naturally without the use of commercial yeasts or enzymes. Our terroir is a mixture of sandy clay and limestone, typical of our location in the southern Rhône Valley. The vineyards are located in Castillon du Gard, within the Côtes du Rhône and Côtes du Rhône Villages appellations, though we have chosen to label our wine as a simple Vin de Table, giving us more flexibility.
La Gramière is a fruit driven win, lush with notes of blackberry and cassis mixed with hints of licorice and spice. It is medium to full bodied with well structured tannins and has an ageing potential of 5-10 years. Our wine is great with hearty meals such as roasted lamb or BBQ and also goes really well with spicy foods such as Mexican or Indian.
We hope you enjoy our wine as much as our story!!!
A "fruit driven win," indeed!

I remember reading about your wine in Kermit's brochure a year or two back and jumped at the chance to buy some at Beltramo's in Menlo Park when I saw it there last week. What a great bottle of wine the 2006 is. I decided to stock up a bit in case it goes away for a while. Any chance you will allow Kermit to bring in some rose and/or blanc??
