Description
L'Amour est Cerise from the Vindiou estate is a real firecracker, bursting with sparkling fruitiness and dangerously easy to drink. Syrah macerated in Cinsault juice from direct pressing: the tone is set. Do make sure you have a few bottles to hand, though, as the glasses will pile up quickly, especially if you’re planning on some tapas, grilled white meat or a vegetable tagine.
