brought up in 60% new French oak

the 2016 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Gallimardes is mostly Grenache (there’s 10% Syrah) all from incredibly old vines in the Les Gallimardes lieu-dit located in the southern part of the appellation

Medium-to full-bodied and tight with firm tannins

but the 2019 is so elegant

I can't go higher than this

2016 Explicit Branco Barrelfermented Jorge Rosa Santos brought up in 60% newThis wine is made from traditional Portuguese grape varieties. The grapes grow on sandy soils with granite. Aromas of tropical fruits and citrus on the nose. Nice body on the palate with aromas of apricots and citrus. Good balance with a long finish.
