Charles Melton Nine Popes GSM 2016
Nine Popes is Charles Melton`s nod to the great wines of Châteauneuf-du-Pape and is as rich, powerful and beautifully balanced as the best examples from France, with an excellent track record for ageing particularly well. The 2016 is a blend of 50% Grenache, 48% Syrah and 2% Mataro.
This wine to wood ratio has the effect of giving an almost gossamer-like dusting of new oak to the wine, rather than a solid hit which is exactly how we want it for the Popes.

Catalog:
Region:
Nose:
A deepish colour but not black, as is typical of Grenache wines.
Palate:
There is some real tar and roses complexity and a little hint of Eden Valley ironstone. This is a structured, spicy Popes that will sweeten and flower with time and remain rich and plush in the Popes tradition.
Varietal Composition:
Grenache, 48% Syrah and 2% Mataro.
