Rotem & Mounir Saouma Côtes du Rhône Villages Inopia Rouge 2018/20

The Saouma’s purchased a desolate plot of land in Orange in 2011. A minimal intervention approach combined with the image of the original barren land inspired the name of the wine, INOPIA, which translates to “made from nothing” in Latin. The blend is mostly Grenache Noir, along with a little Mourvèdre, Counoise, Syrah and Cinsault. Aged for 18 months on lees in 500-litre casks as well as foudre and concrete eggs, the wine is bottled without fining or filtering. Like his Châteauneuf-du-Papes', Mounir’s Inopia Côtes du Rhone Villages Rouge exhibits tremendous finesse and balance. Silky, elegant with transparent and pure red fruit flavours and aromas.

Delivery Times

We aim to to have your delivery with you within 5-7 working days of receiving your order, but often it can be much sooner. If you need your order by a certain date please get in touch and we'll do our best to get it to you as required.

 

Vintage Availability

We endeavour to display accurate and current vintages on all our wines listed on the website; however, from time to time stocks of the vintage listed do become exhausted. If this is the case with your order we will always contact you to recommend another vintage of the same wine, if it is still available. If the vintage of a wine is important to you then please leave a note at checkout advising us of this. 

 

Stock Availability

As we are retail stockists, selling from our Ledston shop as well as online, it makes it difficult for us to show a 'real-time' inventory of our wines and spirits online. As such, very occasionally, a wine may be out of stock that the website has allowed you to order.

To ensure a timely delivery, we are happy to substitute your order with a similar wine of equal or higher value and at no additional cost to you!

If this is not an acceptable solution please advise us in the 'Add A Comment' section at the checkout.
