Romain Duvernay Saint-Joseph
The Duvernay winery spent the 20th century supplying high quality wine to other producers in the Rhone region, until Romain decided that the quality of their grapes was such that they should start producing wine under their own label. Their name is still not widely recognised, which keeps their exceptional wines at reasonable prices. This rich, sumptuous Syrah is an excellent example of this.

Awards and/or Press Quotes | |
Decanter | 4 Stars. 'Forest floor and hints of clove and dark chocolate dominate the nose here, with touches of raspberry & mulberry. The creamy palate is southern in style, bearing garrigue herbs in its red stone fruit flavour. Ends with a kick and good fruit verve.' |
