***

Region: Southern Rhône

Appellation: Vin de France

Grapes: 50% Syrah, 25% Viognier, 25% Grenache Noir

Average Vine Age: 30 years-old

Altitude: 165 feet (50m)

Soils/Terroir: Sandy red clay (argiles sableuses) for the Syrah, and clay-limestone (argilo-calcaire) for the Viognier and Grenache Noir

Farming: Organic

Harvest: Hand harvested

Yield: 30 hl/ha

Winemaking: Half of the Syrah and all the Viognier were whole bunch macerated for 8 days in fiber tanks. On the 9th day the grapes were pressed, and the juice transferred back to fiber tanks to complete fermentation. The other half of the Syrah and the Grenache Noir were directly pressed upon arrival in the cellar and fermented separately in fiber tanks. Only the naturally occurring indigenous yeasts were used for fermentation. After the completion of malolactic fermentation, the components were blended.

Maturation: Aged 7 months in concrete tanks on the fine lees. 1 month prior to bottling a low dose of sulfur (1g/hl) was added to the wine. Bottled without fining or filtration.
