Grape Varieties:
Blend of Grenache and Syrah grapes.
Terroir:
Stony soil of quartz mixed with sandy red clay.
Winemaking:
The grapes are hand-picked and fully destemmed before fermentation. Each grape variety is fermented individually and fermentation/maceration lasts for approximately 4 weeks. After about 12 months of maturing, the different varieties, which were aged partly in oak and partly in vat, are combined to form the final blend before bottling.
Tasting notes:
A rich, bright ruby colour with a subtle and complex nose of spices and garrigue. The palate is full and structured with spicy and dark-fruit flavours (prune and cherry) complemented by smooth, silky tannins on the finish.
Service & food pairing suggestions:
Enjoy this Châteauneuf du Pape at 16°C with grilled lamb chops or "Provençale" veal. It can be enjoyed already and up to 10 years of age.
