Domaine Santa Duc Gigondas Les Hautes Garrigues 2020 is a big, swaggering Southern Rhône red from old vines on the stony terraces, delivering serious flavour and structure in the glass. This Les Hautes Garrigues 2020 feels like Gigondas turned up a notch, perfect for a cool Adelaide evening.

In the glass you get dense black cherry, plum and dark berry fruit with hints of cassis, licorice, garrigue herbs, violets and a touch of cocoa and smoke. The palate is full–bodied and powerful, loaded with ripe fruit, spice and firm but polished tannins that promise long life.

This Domaine Santa Duc Les Hautes Garrigues 2020 is a cracking match for slow–braised lamb shanks, beef daube, rich stews, venison pie or barbecued ribeye. It also shines with hearty mushroom dishes and a big board of aged cheddar or Comté when you want a serious Rhône on the table.
