Costières de Nîmes La Ciboise Bio Areca 2023 6x75cl
Delicious on the palate, dominated by the notes of red fruit, the finish shows a fine touch of spice and liquorice, along with delicate, silky tannins.
Vineyards
The soil is made up of pebbles on a sandy-clay matrix allowing the soil to build up water reserves which help the growth of the vine in this sunny, Mediterranean climate.
Vintage
2023 was a multi-faceted wine-growing season, producing a vintage formed by exceptional weather conditions. The year saw rainfall shortfalls and excessive heatwaves, accompanied by bouts of Mediterranean rainfall, mildew outbreaks and water stress. But a year too when the Terroirs came up trumps in the face of adversity!
Winemaking
The fully destemmed grapes are vinified in concrete tanks. Fermentation temperature around 25°C. Daily, gentle pumping over and 3-4 weeks maceration.
