Vacqueyras Avarum 2023 6x75cl

Intense and generous with notes of black fruit (black cherry and blackberry) and white pepper. The palate is dominated by red fruit, with silky and elegant tannins and a long, lingering finish with slightly smoky notes.

Vineyards

The vines are located on calcareous sandstone and gravelly clay terrace.

Vintage

With a historically dry and mild winter (barely 50 mm of rain by the end of March), the vines came to life earlier. It was a stressful start of season, with the spectre of spring frost looming large. Fortunately, we managed to get through the frost in this sector and bud-burst spread evenly through the month of May. At the start of the season, bunches began to form nicely. Spring was cool and rainy. Vegetative growth was perfect. Ideal conditions for our new Grenache vine planted in April.

Winemaking

The de-stemmed grapes are fermented in concrete tanks. The alcoholic fermentation temperature is controlled at around 25°C to preserve as much varietal aromas as possible.
