One of the big names of the Northern Rhône; when not producing fine St. Joseph, Souhaut makes affordable, knockout Syrah from his plots in the Ardèche. Perfumed, with cracked peppercorn spice and a little lighter on its feet than his classical appellation wines. Find out more.

Vital, high-energy Syrah a la Mazel. The blackcurrant and black olive flavours entwine to create something deeply savoury and saline. Find out more.

At the fresher end of the Syrah-spectrum, with plenty of opulent, lip-smacking fruit. Lots of dusty blackcurrant on the nose, then glossy and vibrant in the glass. Generous and toothsome, propped up by a solid tannic backbone. Find out more.

Val's nod to the classical style of Luberon and the only of his wines to see time ageing in barrel, for a more structured, rustic expression. Despite this more old-school treatment, the trademark vibrancy is barely concealed beneath the surface, a burst of spicy cherry and raspberry is reined in with developed notes of tobacco and sweet leather.

Broad-shouldered Saint Joseph rouge from parcels on an east-facing slope at 330m, over lots of granitic gravel. Plantings from the early 1980's and massal selection vines from 2006-2008. A classic. Find out more.

Made only with grapes from the plateau, elegant, fresh & balanced, with complex flavours of fresh blueberry, pomegranate and spice. A genuinely old-school wine that might not be what you'd expect from this far south in Spain. Find out more.

This is resolutely a red wine, despite 50% of the grapes being white, such is the influence of the Syrah. The Chardonnay and Viognier keep things delightfully silky and fluid, but the red grape provides a huge aromatic lift, that somehow seems to carry itself through into the palate, which is dense with dark blackcurrant fruits and juicy, saline black olive.
