IGP Ardèche: Vignerons Ardéchois 'Les Terrasses' Rouge 2022
Free next day delivery when you spend £125
A versatile cherry-coloured red wine, hailing from a blend of Merlot (usually around 60%) and the remainder Syrah with soft, forest fruit flavours that has proven to be a versatile and popular option in our wine list.
Both the red and white 'house' wines from Vignerons Ardéchois are called 'Les Terrasses'. They are both clean, bright and fruity, both ideal for reliable everyday drinking. This approachable, soft red has bags of ripe cassis fruit over a background of supple tannins.

Vignerons Ardéchois
The Vignerons Ardéchois Cave Co-opérative (also known as U.V.I.C.A - Union des Vignerons des Coteaux de l'Ardèche) has its roots in the late 1960s when the Presidents of 7 major Cave Co-opératives agreed a unified policy of modernisation, re-planting and marketing. Based in the town of Ruoms, 20 kilometres south of Aubenas this forward-thinking, modernist collective has done much to revive the fortunes of this ancient vine-area, which dates back to Roman times. Today the Vignerons Ardéchois co-operative represents some 2000 grape growers from 21 different smaller co-operatives. U.V.I.C.A is a terrific source of keenly-priced, well made single variety wines and accessible, fruit-driven blends.
