Tuffers' Tipples are all selected by Phil himself, with the assistance of our Head Wine Buyer, Andrew Baker. This is a very special Southern French red which he fell for. A blend of Syrah and Grenache from 25 year old vines and Mourvèdre from low yielding 50-year-old vines to enhance the balance and depth of the final wine. Its delicate, fine tannins integrate with fresh red fruits, and you get a hint of spice from the Grenache and a touch of cocoa from the small proportion of Syrah which was aged in oak barrels.

Boris Kovac
Originally from Serbia, Boris grew up helping his father in their vineyards. At first he had more fun running through vineyards with his dog than working but, little by little, he began to take an interest in what his father was doing. Over time, he learned about winemaking and was able to help his father in some work in their vineyard, then in the winery. To gain more knowledge he moved to France, after gaining his degree, for an internship at the Institute of Research in Oenology. From here his career grew as a consulting winemaker for many estates in the Languedoc and Roussillon, as well as Australia and South Africa. In 2003 he created Domain de l'Agly in the heart of the magnificent region of Roussillon with 2 friends, and it is now his main focus.
"This wine was crafted with grapes from Nezignan l'Eveque near Pezenas, including some wonderful old vine fruit. The blend is 40% Grenache, 40% Syrah and 20% Mourvèdre, and 15% of the Syrah was aged for 7 months in new American oak barrels." - Boris Kovac, Winemaker.
