More about this product
Mark Haisma
Mark Haisma spent ten years as a winemaker in Yarra Yering, Australia. He leaves the comfort of this prestigious position to make wine himself - back in Burgundy. He buys grapes from selected producers in some of the most famous appeals in the world and makes wine in a winery for rent. With a lot of energy and a little luck, he managed to break into the rather conservative world of French winemaking and establish contacts that would provide him with quality grapes from excellent plots. According to him, Mark makes wines that are "good to drink" and has great respect for the nuances of the individual plots. In its affordable and charming style, you will feel the appeal in the foreground, not the manufacturer.

Rhone Valley
The Rhone Valley is a long, narrow strip in the south of France. In practice, this region is divided into two sub-regions, each with its own type and identity - North and South Rhone. The northern part is best known for its legendary and long-lasting red wines, mainly from Syrah grapes: Hermitage, Ivory Coast, St. Joseph and Cornas, as well as the fragrant white Viognier from Condrieu. The south is home to the full Chateauneuf-du-Pape and Gigondas, as well as the light Rose of Tavel. Chateauneuf-du-Pape can be a blend of up to 13 different varieties, 3 of which are even white. This is the main difference between it and Gigondas, where white varieties in the blend are not allowed. The most famous of these main red varieties are Grenache, Mourvedre, Syrah and Cinsault, and the white ones are Roussanne, Marsanne and Viognier.

Grenache
Grenache (Garnacha) is a red-wine grape grown extensively in France, Spain, Australia and the United States. Grenache is the French name for the grape, while in Spain it is known as Garnacha, and on the island of Sardinia they call it Cannonau. In France it is most commonly found in the classic Southern Rhone Blend ( it is the main grape variety in Chateauneuf-du-Pape) but also plays a main role in one of southern France's signature Rosè wine style in Provence. In Spain, Garnacha is the key constituent in the prestigious wines of Priorat.
