Award: IWC Red Winemaker of the Year 2009
Châteauneuf-du-Pape is the pride and joy of Skalli Grand Vin du Rhône, established for over a century in the summer residence of the Popes. A tribute cuvée aged 12 months in oak barrels and foudres, offering delicate aromas of stewed stone fruit, red fruit and cherry. An array of flavors, with present, well-melted tannins, give warmth and persistence to this complex, elegant wine. A great bottle!
