Bright ruby in colour, this 2024 opens with expressive aromas of ripe strawberry, red cherry and raspberry, followed by subtle notes of black pepper, garrigue and a touch of liquorice. On the palate it’s soft and rounded, with juicy fruit at the core, supple tannins and a fresh, balanced lift. The Grenache brings warmth and generosity, while the Syrah adds structure and spice, leading to a smooth, easy finish that stays clean and inviting.
Orbiel Frères sources fruit from southern French vineyards where sunshine and cooling influences allow Grenache and Syrah to ripen fully while retaining freshness. The 2024 vintage was vinified with an emphasis on fruit purity and balance rather than extraction or oak. Gentle fermentation and minimal intervention keep the wine approachable, expressive and true to its Mediterranean roots.
Serve at 15–17 °C. This wine is extremely food-friendly and works beautifully with grilled meats, sausages, burgers, roast chicken, pizza or vegetable dishes with herbs. It’s also an excellent choice for relaxed meals, sharing platters or casual evenings where you want flavour without heaviness.
Early tastings of recent Orbiel Frères vintages have been well received. Feedback regularly highlights the wine’s juicy fruit profile, smooth texture and excellent balance, often noting how well it over-delivers for its style and price point.
Orbiel Frères Grenache–Syrah 2024 is a perfect everyday red done properly. It offers generosity, freshness and balance without trying too hard, making it incredibly versatile and easy to enjoy. If you’re looking for a crowd-pleasing red that works across a wide range of dishes and occasions, with genuine Southern French character, this bottle delivers excellent value and immediate pleasure.
