Libre de Soufre (Côtes-du-Rhône)
Blend
Syrah mainly
Terroir
• Two different types of soils: clay and limestone and stony soils
• Maximum yield for this appellation: 41hl/ha
Winemaking
• Alcoholic fermentation during a week and maceration for 3 weeks to extract colour, flavour and tannins; daily pumping over
• Malolactic fermentation directly after the alcoholic one
• Filtration at the end of devatting to avoid an organoleptic deviation that could appear since there is no sulphur in this wine
• Aged in stainless steel tanks during 6 months
No SO2 has been added to this wine. It contains less than 10mg/L naturally produced by the yeasts during the fermentation
Tasting Notes
• Colour: intense, ruby red with purple hints
• Aromas: the absence of sulphur allows this wine to express its aromas more freely! It has a fresh red fruits scent
• Palate: full, with a great volume and a strong complexity
