Description
The grapes for this wine are 100% hand picked and vigorously selected for ripeness before the picking begins. The grapes are crushed and destalked with no yeast added (the fermentation relies entirely on wild yeasts). The fermentations lasts for 15 days and the cap is punched down twice daily to aid the extraction of colour and tannin. The wine is then aged 60% in vats and 40% in 2 – 4 year old demi maids.
Lush red from this much-admired village in the southern Rhône, overflowing with black cherries and currants, all refreshed by a breath of liquorice.
