More information about Allée Bleue Shiraz 2019
Dark red and intense, the Allée Bleue Shiraz presents itself in the glass and the bouquet also reveals the complexity of the red wine from the first moment. Notes of cinnamon, chocolate and violets characterize the fragrance of the powerful Allée Bleue Shiraz and are accompanied by ripe cherries. On the palate, the fruity spicy character of the wine continues and the silky smooth mouthfeel makes the hearts of red wine lovers beat faster. The Allée Bleue Shiraz was refined with a small amount of Viognier (8%) and aged for fifteen months in mostly French and some American oak. Spicy dishes with a fruity sauce and dark meat are the perfect combination to this expressive red wine.

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.
