Vignerons d’Estezargues Taparas Côtes du Rhône Rouge 2023 | Southern Rhône
$33.00
The Wine
Classic Rhône comfort drinking, juicy fruit with a minimal-intervention edge. Plush dark fruit, cracked pepper and wild herbs wrapped around supple tannins and enough freshness to keep the wine vibrant and energetic. Organic fruit, native yeast fermentation and concrete élevage preserve purity and spice. Delicious with chargrilled lamb, rotisserie chicken or even lightly chilled alongside pizza.
Blend: 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 10% Carignan, 10% Marselan.

We have started with the cuvees Taparas blanc and rouge. In November 2025 these were joined by the very exciting new “Carambouille”,
