Côtes-du-Rhône Collection Bio Adunatio Rouge 2023 6x75cl

This wine if full bodied, rich with silky tannins and plenty of red fruit aromas.

Vineyards

The terrain is made up of Villafranchian terraces (smooth round pebbles). The plots are located in the Gard at the crossroads of the Papal Palace in Avignon and the famous Roman aqueduct “Le Pont du Gard”.

Vintage

This fine season, with its dry start, cool spring and moderate heat until August, combined with good vineyard management, enabled the Grenache grapes to reach excellent ripeness. Early tasting of the grapes revealed aromas of fresh fruit with hints of strawberry and black cherry, heralding a great vintage for this variety.

Winemaking

The grapes are de-stemmed and go into concrete tanks. The temperature of fermentation is controlled to preserve varietal aromas. Short gentle pumping over at regular intervals throughout the day in order to extract aromas, colouring matter and tannins. Post fermentation maceration lasts around 3 weeks. The decision on when to remove the wine from the vat is based on tasting the wine. The wine is aged in concrete tanks and bottled at the end of the spring that follows the harvest.
