Côtes Catalanes, France

Grenache, Syrah

Narassa is all about comfort — rich, plush and full of sun-ripened fruit. Made from old vine Grenache and Syrah grown near the Spanish border, it’s bursting with blackberries, sweet spice, and a hint of cocoa. The inclusion of dried grapes creates a touch of sweetness that provides that exhilarating zing. Soft, smooth and warming, it’s like a favourite jumper in wine form — generous without being heavy.

Perfect with slow-cooked stews, barbecued meats, or a big wedge of blue cheese. Or just open it on a cold night, curl up on the sofa, and let the world wait.
