Vin Doux Naturel Blanc Hôrs d' Âge from AOC Rasteau 

The vinification of the Vin Doux Naturels

Our terroir is mainly composed of clay-limestone soils, and our vines are on average forty years old, located in the southwest of Rasteau.
This cuvée of Vin Doux Naturel is composed of 100% Grenache noir

This wine is made from a direct pressing of ripe grapes, without maceration. The color of the juice is thus pinkish. The fermentation is quickly launched and when about 90 g of sugar remains, the wine is mutated by adding 5 to 6% of wine alcohol to stop the yeast activity. The wine thus obtained is then stored in old 600 L barrels, for about twenty years, in order to ensure a good ageing without it taking on woody characteristics.
