2.Red Chemin des Papes Cotes Du Rhone 2003
Cote du Rhone is region in France, which comes under the Appellation of Rhone Valley wines, one of the major wine making regions popular for full bodied wine with reasonable tannin making it softer. The range comes in from Red, Rose to White. The most popular grape variety of this region is Grenache for red and rose. In other hand Grenache Blanc for white wines. Chateauneuf-du-Pape is the perfect example made out of blending at least 12 grape varieties grown in region.
The rarest of white wines made from Cotes Du Rhone is made out of Viognier grape variety. However, Rhone wines are normally blended with other grapes as Syrah and Viognier.
The special feature of this wine is light hearted ruby red to Mandarin tint making it look like rose more on white color bottle. These wines are one of the wines which could be easily paired with white meat.
Why should you drink it?
It goes perfectly with mildly –spiced mutton or chicken delicacies chatting with friends while playing cards or flying kite. I would pair this with something like Mutton leg Soup and Meat Kebab. You can even pair this with BBQ.
