A vibrant Red wine offering expressive red fruit, pepper, and violet notes with a silky, refined finish
Famille Perrin Gigondas `La Gille` Gigondas AOC, France is a superb Red still dry wine, crafted from Grenache and Syrah grapes. This wine undergoes a long, slow fermentation and extended maceration, followed by a year of ageing in oak foudres and barrels to soften and refine its tannins. It reveals a delicate nose of pepper, liquorice, and violet, leading to a silky palate with intense notes of raspberry and blackberry. Its balanced structure and expressive red fruit character make it a versatile companion for roasted meats or mature cheeses. This wine is not certified natural, vegan, or vegetarian.

Vinification
Once at the winery, the hand-harvested grapes were sorted, crushed and transferred to oak vats. A long, slow fermentation took place with regular punch downs, to maximise the extraction of the aromas and flavours of each variety. The wine then underwent an extended period of maceration on the skins to soften and refine the tannins before being blended and racked to oak foudres and barrels, where it was aged for a year prior to bottling and release.
