Skalli Grand Vin - Hermitage Roc de Monge 2006

Awards: Guide Hachette Selection, IWC Red Winemaker of the Year 2009
Hermitage Roc de Monge is made from Syrah vines grown on very steep, almost vertiginous granite-sand slopes. A highly concentrated single-varietal wine that develops powerful aromas. This wine offers a well-developed bouquet with notes of humus and undergrowth, and floral aromas of violet. A wine that is both powerful and harmonious— a must-try!
