Presentation
“French Cellars” is a range of wines selected by “Private Collection” for the quality of their blends and the diversity of their grape varieties. These wines are made in the south of France by two winemakers trained in Australia.
Terroir
This wine is made from the Grenache grape variety. The grapes were grown on vines aged 15 to 20 years, planted in the clay-limestone soils of Languedoc, between Montpellier and Sète, near the Mediterranean coast. Grenache is a grape variety that thrives in arid regions. The climate of this region is hot, dry, and very sunny.
In the vineyard
Yields are low (65hl/ha).
Winemaking
The clusters undergo direct pressing. Decanting is important in order to obtain a very clear juice, which will then be vinified like a white wine and fermented at low temperature (15°C). For this Grenache, there is no malolactic fermentation.
Varietal
Grenache : 100%
