Apis, or "the bees" in Latin refers to the hives present on Domaine La Luminaille since 2018. This cuvée is from 70% Carignan (45 years old) and 30% Grenache and is vinified with no added sulfur. The bunches are manually harvested into small crates brought to the winery where they undergo whole bunch, full carbonic maceration by indigenous yeasts. Maturation is in cement vats.

***

Domaine La Luminaille is located in the “quartier” of Rasteau called “la lumière”. The name comes from the bright glow of the olive tree’s leaves under a full moon. Julie Paolucci is the fifth generation of her family to farm in the quartier of “la lumière”, and it was her father, Jean-Claude, who really developed the family’s vineyards. Today, Julie’s property includes 12 hectares of vines and 3 hectares of olive trees. She returned to the family property in 2014 after working as a sommelier in Paris. Soon after taking over, Julie gained organic certification and she has continued to develop a personal style of winemaking to create unmanipulated and elegant wines.
