Cuvée Prestigieux Côtes du Rhône 2022

We first met Sam 30+ years back, and have been following him and his wines ever since. They deliver every time with lovely fruity intensity, originality and value. In 2018, he finally decided it was time to return to his roots and his family estate in Griffith. He has nurtured partnerships with long standing grower friends and made us two Salvatore wines, both of which keep winning awards! He is a true genius. Sam knows Malbec performs as well in Oz as it does in Argentina, but he adds a sizeable portion of Shiraz and his favourite variety, Durif and ages this for four months in French oak barrels. A smooth, moreish red packed with ripe fruit. Top choice with a hearty casserole.
