- An elegant and textured wine, almost black, this offers intense red fruit aromas with savoury hints of black olives. Spicy, peppery notes come through on the silky palate. This smooth and savoury wine has a lovely purity of blackberry flavour and smoky bacon enlivened by a twist of black pepper.
The wine was produced organically, with a three-day cold soak before controlled fermentation with natural yeasts and minimal sulphur use. Classic winemaking techniques were used, with regular pump-overs and treading of the grapes to ensure the desired extraction levels. Twenty percent of the wine was matured in oak foudres of 20 hectolitres; the remainder was aged in stainless steel.

Winery | Domaine la Ville Rouge cultivates its vineyard organically; the environment is respected, and biodiversity is encouraged. The use of pesticides, herbicides and synthetic fertilisers is strictly prohibited. Instead, the vines are encouraged to draw essential minerals from the soil and develop better disease resistance. The grapes come from relatively young vines aged between 15 to 20 years old. The vineyard is undergoing conversion to biodynamic status, a philosophy which recognises the connection between all living things and utilises lunar cycles and earth rhythms to dictate viticultural timings. |
