A very harmonious blend of Grenache (80%), Syrah (10%)  and Mourvèdre (10%) grapes, aged for18 months before bottling. Aromas of black cherry and dark chocolate are followed by a smooth-textured palate and a long finish. No oak barrels are used so the purity of the fruit is allowed to express itself. The village of Rasteau has its own unique micro-climate in which the grapes achieve perfect ripeness almost every year.


Domaine la Soumade, which was established in 1979 in Rasteau, Southern Rhône, France, is well-known for its robust red wines that showcase the region's terroir. The domaine was founded by André Roméro and is now run by his son Frédéric. They focus on Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, emphasizing quality, sustainability, and terroir expression. Domaine la Soumade has adopted organic viticulture and minimal intervention in the cellar. As a result, they produce a range of wines, from accessible Côtes du Rhône to prestigious Rasteau cuvées. They combine tradition with innovation, highlighting their commitment to environmental stewardship and excellence in winemaking.


Wine Master Alun Griffiths said of the wine from Domaine la Soumade:
The Domaine is renowned worldwide and is classified in the highest quality category, called in French a ‘cru’. The wine is powerful and fruity, with delicate tannins, a long finish, a perfect expression of the terroir and a great ability to age well.
