Origin
The Côtes du Rhône Garrigues Red is produced in the Southern Rhône Valley, France, from vineyards located near the village of Courthézon. The terroir is characterized by its stony, limestone-rich soils typical of the Garrigues landscape, which influences the wine's aromatic profile and structure.
Variety
This wine is a blend primarily composed of Grenache and Syrah grape varieties, which are traditional to the Rhône region and contribute to the wine’s balance, complexity, and aging potential.
Production
The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo a careful sorting process. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve fruit freshness and aromatic intensity. The wine is aged in a combination of stainless steel and concrete vats to maintain purity and enhance texture before bottling.
Tasting notes
- Appearance: Deep ruby red color with purple highlights.
- Aroma: Intense and complex bouquet featuring ripe red fruits such as cherry and raspberry, complemented by subtle spicy notes and hints of garrigue herbs.
