Winemaking notes
Each grape variety (Grenache blanc, Bourboulenc, Roussanne) was vinified individually to develop its own characteristics. To
boost aromatic potential, fermentation was done at low temperature (12-14°C / 54-58°F). The ageing in vats lasted for 6 months before bottling. This wine is Vegan (no animal-derived products were used to clarify or in fining the wine).
Viticultural notes
The Cotes du Rhone is one of the largest and most diverse French appellation with more than 35,000 Ha (86,000 acres) from south of Lyon all the way to Avignon. Along the length of the Rhône River, the Côtes du Rhône vineyards thrive on rich and varied terroirs. Its history starts in 125 BC when the Romans first planted vines in the region. In 1650, regulations were introduced to ensure that the wine was genuine and to guarantee its quality. A royal decree in 1737 stated that all barrels destined for sale or transport must be branded with the letters “C.D.R”. Finally, the region was awarded the ‘AOC’ (Registered Designation of Origin) Côtes du Rhône in 1937.
Tasting notes
