INFO: In the central valley of the southern Rhône heartland sits the family-owned Domaine de la Berthète. Close to fifty hectares of vineyards are cultivated according to eco-friendly principles on classic ‘argilo-calcaire’ terroir.
Planted with Grenache 45%, Syrah 30%, Cinsault 5% and Carignan 20%, the vineyard work is now carried out following the principles of reasoned viticulture with the utmost respect for the environment and harvesting is done mainly by hand with de-stemming of the grapes.
The vinification is of traditional type with vatting going from 8 to 15 days under controlled temperatures. Bottling is done at the property.
The resulting wines have aromas of sweet-ripe fruit overlaid with an intriguing nuance of spice mingled with the warmth of sunny summers; round, smooth flavours layered with a fresh streak follow with some depth leading to a friendly and satisfying finish. No oak influence
