Taparas Cotes du Rhone Rouge

These are some of the best value wines in France.  Go hard! Bargain. Highly recommended. 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 Organic certification followed, and all the wines are now made without fining or filtration, and just minimal sulphur at bottling. These are some of the best value wines in France.

These are some of the best value wines in France.  Taparas is a medium-weight blend of Grenache, Syrah, Carignan, and Marselan (a grape you don't see often, a cross between Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache). 100% organic, with few additives and zero filtration, it shows lush, fleshy, delicious dark cherries imbued with warm peppery spice and a touch of wild herbs or garrigue.   This tastes authentic, like one of those beautiful unpretentious 'Vin de Table' wines served up in hip Parisian wine bars, or that you encounter in Southern French bistros whilst on holidays. These are some of the best value wines in France.   Go hard!  Bargain. Highly recommended. Founded in 1965, this is a co-operative like none other, with a focus on a minimal intervention and quality first approach. When Jean-Francois Nicq took over as winemaker in 1989, he changed the course of this operation and challenged the normal co-operative model in France. He decided to vinify the wines of all 10 member estates separately, giving them a unique identity.
