More information about Allée Bleue Shiraz 2020
Deep red and intense - this is the Allée Bleue Shiraz. As the brilliant color suggests, the wine is also very complex on the nose. Ripe cherries are surrounded by delicious notes of violets, cinnamon and chocolate, creating a great character. On the palate, the Shiraz is soft and silky and picks up on juicy berries, which are surrounded by spicy nuances. Matured in French and American oak, this red wine is an excellent accompaniment to hearty dishes with meat skewers, but it is also simply fantastic on its own!

In 1999, the Dauphin family of German entrepreneurs acquired the ALLÉE BLEUE estate, which at that time was still known as MEERRUST. With a lot of pioneering spirit, they revitalized the estate, which was founded in 1690 and has an area of 150 hectares and had not produced a noble drop for over 100 years. Today the red and white wines of ALLÉE BLEUE are internationally recognized and belong to the top class. The vines we cultivate thrive on sandstone soils interspersed with shell limestone. Combined with the almost Mediterranean climate and the abundance of sunshine hours they enjoy,...
