Moroccan Wine - Knock me over with a feather

Roslane Coteaux de l'Atlas Red Premier Cru AOC

The vineyards are situated on limestone-clay soils. This is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. The wine is raised in new fine-grained barriques made from Allier and Tronçais oak and aged for 30 months in oak and bottle before release.

This is a dark wine with powerful dark berry notes, plenty of fruit and toasty oak.Think top end Sicilian.

A true surprise in an otherwise barren landscape of drinkable reds. This was not only drinkable, it was a delight
