This is a beautiful, gentle take on Grenache from a winemaker known for his lightness of touch - Axel Prufer farms in La Tour-sur-Orb of southern France's Orb River Valley.
Vinification: 100% Grenache Noir hand-harvested from old vines grown in decomposed limestone, quartz, and granite soils. The grapes are not macerated for long before a very gentle pressing. Spontaneous fermentation (ambient yeasts; no temp. control) takes place before a short élevage (6-9months). Bottled unfined, unfiltered, no additional SO2. 15%ABV
