- This full-bodied, layered and rich wine has intense flavours of warm fig, dark chocolate and spicy fruitcake. Complex and powerful on the palate with fine-grained tannins and a deliciously long finish.
The grapes were harvested at optimal ripeness. They then underwent a long six-week fermentation with indigenous yeasts in concrete vats. The resulting wine was matured for 12 months in oak barrels and bottled without any fining and just gentle filtration.

Winery | The vines are grown in the limestone and clay soils of the parcels on the Gigondas hillside terraces. The vines are grown in the named plot or 'lieu dit' of Souteyrades, located in the south of the appellation. The Grenache vines date back to 1948 and the Mourvadre vines to 1977, these old vines are naturally lowyielding and produce rich, concentrated juice. The vineyard is certified organic; no chemical pesticides or herbicides are used, instead natural techniques are employed to preserve the environment and the biodiversity of the vineyard. |
