The 2023 Pierre Amadieu Cairanne Les Hautes Rives is a rich and expressive Southern Rhône red that showcases the character and generosity of the Cairanne appellation. Crafted from a blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah, the wine opens with aromas of blackberry, plum and dark cherry, layered with notes of garrigue herbs, spice and subtle earthy complexity.
On the palate, it is full-flavoured and beautifully balanced, with ripe dark fruit, fine tannins and a fresh mineral edge. Hints of liquorice, graphite and dried herbs add depth, while the finish is smooth, savoury and persistent. Despite its richness, the wine retains excellent freshness and elegance.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic choice for customers who enjoy generous Rhône reds with plenty of flavour and character. Approachable now but capable of developing further complexity over the next 5–8 years. Perfect with grilled lamb, slow-cooked beef, roast pork, game dishes or hearty Mediterranean cuisine.
