WINE DESCRIPTION
This full-bodied, dry wine matures exclusively in oak barrels, enhancing its fruity and spicy character. It pairs exquisitely with Mediterranean cuisine rich in herbs, as well as with aged cheeses and hearty meat dishes. Crafted from hand-picked grapes, it undergoes traditional fermentation with naturally occurring yeasts for two to three weeks at a controlled temperature, followed by aging in large wooden vats to optimize color and aroma extraction.

ORIGINS
Winery: Vidal Fleury
Region: Rhone
The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.CUSTOMER RATING
