The Vineyard:

For this wine, we have selected the parcels located in the cool mountainous air which balances the heat of the full Provençal sun in order to express more intensely the flavor of this combination.

Viticultural Work:

Beyond all other focuses, “Maintenance and Service” of God's Creation are the two main axes of our conscientious growing approach. Our goal and philosophy are to let nature, through our vines as well as our other products in Provence, produce its fruits in its own timing: today and… tomorrow. The perfect microclimate along with the famous Mistral, keeping the air clean and healthy, are important agents in accomplishing this goal. The yields are closely monitored according to the different terroirs, vine types, graft carrier, age and density of the plants.

Winemaking and Production:

The harvest is done when the grapes have reached the perfect level of maturity and are healthy. The vinification process is classical, with the maceration in concrete tanks with the full mush. The straining is done by délestage at the beginning of the fermentation, followed by slow and soft stirring in order to avoid the formation of hard tannins. Once the malolactic fermentation is done, the wine is raised up into concrete tanks for aging 9 months before the bottling.

Presentation:

Burgundy bottles, Agape of Saver Glass style (Agape is the Greek for Charity).

Grape Variety:

• Grenache (for the boldness and long aging qualities)

• Syrah (for the fresh refined taste)

• Carignan (for its rustic touch)

– The percentage of grape varieties in the blend varies slightly each year based on specific conditions and vintage characteristics –

Tasting:

The color is very light and crystal clear. The smell is quite refined and expresses a slight exuberance with hints of floral and exotic fruits. In the palate, the intensity is very strong as well as fresh and lively. A light aroma of citrus and exotic fruit follows in the mouth and leaves a very satisfying taste.
