Origin
Produced in the Southern Rhône Valley, France, within the prestigious Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation known for its rich terroir and historic vineyards.
Variety
The wine is a blend primarily composed of Grenache, complemented by Syrah and Mourvèdre grapes, reflecting the traditional varietal composition of the region.
Production
The grapes are hand-harvested from old vines planted on quartz-rich soils, which impart a distinctive minerality. Fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by aging in a combination of concrete vats and oak barrels to balance freshness and complexity.
