Wine Production
The Syrah is picked first, beginning of September, the Grenache noir mid-September and the Mourvèdre, the last to ripen, around end of September/early October. 2 to 3 week fermentations for the Syrah and the Grenache noir, and 3 to 4 weeks for the Mourvèdre. All grapes are vinified separately and then blended once fermentations are finished.
About the Vineyard
The Vin de France appellation enables us to source the finest French grapes from the best growing zones: Left bank of the Rhône river & Roussillon region for the Grenache noir (pebbles stones), Right bank of the Rhône river & Minervois region for the Syrah (pebbles stones & limestone soils), Languedoc region for the Mourvèdre (clay & limestone soils).
