Same River Twice Wines was created by James, a wine agent and former importer in Tokyo, in partnership with Laurent, a local vigneron whose family has farmed the area for over 300 years, to make a style of wine for people who love the aromatic richness of our terroir but seek wines with a lighter touch.
Laurent farms the vines and they make the wines together. Their shared obsessions are healthy soil, healthy grapes and blends that show terroir, or provenance, in its truest form. They’ve worked together s

Presentation
Chilled Red is a style of wine that lies somewhere between Rosé and Red and is actually made by a bit of both those styles’ methods, although possibly a bit more like Rosé than Red.
Location
Caromb towards Beaumes-de-Venise and Carpentras, picked from the higher yielding.
Terroir
From several vineyards on poor, stony, clay-limestone soils, atop a wellventilated south-east facing plateau, around 150 to 200m altitude.
In the vineyard
50 hl/ha on average
Certified organic and worked the same as all our vines, with minimal treatments aiming to restrict the carbon footprint.

Tasting
The result is a wine that’s distinctive due to its pretty and pale red colour, gentle tannins and soft, luscious fruit flavours. It’s richly perfumed with red cherry, acerola and cranberry, red and black peppercorns, dried rose, and a lift of lavender.

Red meat, poultry, veal, risotto.
