Winemaking notes
Respecting the environment and all people involved, the vines receive no chemical or synthetic treatments whatsoever. The grapes (Grenache and Syrah) are de-stemmed. Traditional vinification with a long vatting time (up to 3 weeks) to concentrate the colour and the aromas. The wine is then aged 6 months in tank with no oak élevage (a term used to describe the progression of wine between fermentation and 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.
