Domaine de Servans Côtes du Rhône is a Grenache Noir and Syrah blend from grapes that are organically grown. The vines that supply the grapes for this wine have an average of 40 years of age. The grapes are harvested by hand, then sorted manually. They are de-stemmed and crushed, followed by maceration in temperature controlled tanks. The two grape varietals are vinified separately and are matured in tank for a period before being bottled ready for release. The resulting wine is a full-bodied, fruity wine with notes of spice and dried herbs.
