200 hectares on an island by the mouth of the Rhone river.
SOIL Sand, silt, alluvial soils of the Rhone
Arinarnoa = Tannat X Cab Sauv.
region: Rhone, France
varietal: 20% Cab Franc, 20% Merlot, 20% Petit Verdot, 20% Arinarnoa, 20% Carménère
style: red
farming/cellar: sustainable/practicing organic, just a temperature control with cooled panels during the fermentation in oreder to keep the genuine fruit. Varietals are macerating and fermenting separately, during +/- 20 days. The blend is achieved to reach the typical fruity-spicy character of this wine (Merlot and Cabernet Franc) but also to bring some nice structure and add a layer of complexity (Arinarnoa and Petit Verdot). Aged in tank.
