Nia is a vibrant, soulful red from Cros des Calades in the southern Rhône, made with a gentle, hands off approach that lets the fruit and land speak clearly. A blend led by Syrah with Grenache adding warmth and ease, this is a wine full of energy rather than weight.
The nose opens with ripe blackberries, damson and wild hedgerow fruit, layered with cracked pepper, dried herbs and a subtle earthy edge. On the palate it is juicy and flowing, with fresh acidity and fine, supple tannins that give shape without heaviness. There is a natural ease here, honest fruit, savoury depth and a quiet sense of balance that invites another glass.
Unfined, unfiltered and made with native yeasts, Nia is a wine rooted in organic farming and minimal intervention, expressive, food friendly and effortlessly drinkable. Best enjoyed slightly cool, shared around a table with good food and good company.
