Welcome to the Vaucluse, a southern Rhône wine region, just on the edge of Provence. Its extensive vineyards nurture an array of native grapes like Grenache, Syrah, Marselan and Carignan, that make ripe, warming, fruit-laden reds. The nearest neighbours are famous wine regions Rasteau, Gigondas, Vacqueyras and Châteauneuf-du-Pape. It's lucky enough to share the same climate and have similar soils too. In the case of Willem the Silent and Châteauneuf, it shares an award-winning winemaker as well. Thierry Ferlay has won scores of Gold medals for many of his wines - from vins de pays to Châteauneuf. Enjoy the herb and liquorice-scented fruit of his latest offering with sausage and mash or shepherd's pie of the meat or veggie sort.
