Côtes du Rhône 'Variations' 2023
Domaine Maby
Domaine Maby, now led by Richard Maby who left a career in finance in 2005, is a centuries old, family run estate in the southern Rhône Valley known for organic viticulture and expressive wines.
The Côtes du Rhône "Variations" is a red blend from 50-year-old vines grown on garrigue-rich slopes between Saint-Laurent-des-Arbres and Roquemaure. The soils—round pebbles, sandy loam, and clay-limestone—add structure and aromatic depth.
Fermented and aged in concrete to preserve freshness, the wine shows a ruby hue with purple highlights. Aromas of black and red berries, spice, and minerals lead to a supple, refreshing palate with fine acidity and a smooth, balanced finish.
