    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Powerful but suave, this oozes ripe, juicy brambly fruit. The tannins are very fine and crisp, giving clear as a bell definition to the unctuous dark berry flavours. Expressive, transparent with requisite density, too, this is a fantastically well-balanced Templiers. A Syrah- influenced blend, with Grenache the other key component. Whole bunch fermented then aged in large steel tanks.

    Nicolas Greinacher,

    The 2020 Vacqueyras Cuvée des Templiers blends equal proportions of Grenache and Syrah. Aging took place for nine months in stainless steel tanks, followed by one year in concrete. The result is an inviting 2020 red that offers hazelnut, red and black cherry, red plum and licorice aromas. Made in a refreshing and early-drinking style, the drying tannins take away some of the fun to drink this today.
