If Télégramme is more about fruit than stones, it is still undeniably Châteauneuf, expressing the nobility of carefully farmed Grenache from the Rhône’s finest terroirs.

A fresh, pure entry point to the Rhône’s great reds with aromas and flavors of black cherries, stones, and a hint of black olive.

This bears a rich bouquet of wild strawberry, flowers, garrigue, and sweet spices, culminating in a long, stony finale.

Durban does here what they do best, keeping the focus and precision of the terroir as well as loads of fruit and pleasure.

This dark, autumnal rosé is a beacon of tradition in a sea of paler styles.

Fragrant aromas of lavender and garrigue, notes of perfectly ripe black cherries, hints of black olive and stones.

This dark, autumnal rosé is a beacon of tradition in a sea of paler styles.
