Chateauneuf du Pape Reserve des Oliviers, Maison Favier 75cl

Quick Overview

This Southern Rhone wine region is famous for the galets roules or 'pudding stones ' covering the ground allowing for heat retention to help enhance ripening of the grapes in the vineyards.

Fermentation takes 3 weeks with strict temperature control at a maximum of 30ºC so that all the freshness of the red fruits is preserved. Pumping-over takes place twice a day during the first 2 weeks and once a day for the final week to keep some elegance. Ageing on the lees is practised in barrel.

Suggested Cocktails and Manufacturer Info

The grenache character predominates on the nose with plenty of raspberry fruit. A succulent attack is balanced by fine tannins and good acidity. The finish is marked by spice and blackcurrant.

Food Matching: Very versatile due the fine tannins and fresh fruitiness. Try it with chicken in mushroom or red wine sauce, or with a barbeque. For the veggies out there, this goes excellently with cheese and tomoato omlette or a leek and onion quiche.
