Rasteau Vin Doux Nature 2022 Producer|Chateau BarouilletMade using 100% Grenache Noir from 80 year old vines the estates oldest vines which yield wonderfully concentrated fruit. The grapes are de stemmed and undergo a 6 day fermentation with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel vats. The wine is muted (fortified) halfway through fermentation before being left to rest for 10 months in stainless steel, retaining as much fruit character as possible. On the nose this sweet red wine bursts with clear cut

As always with Ezio

Remarkably

Co-fermented

An exotic natural wine full of musky perfume and salty ocean spray that

but is raised entirely in steel which preserves a certain verve and freshness

with a silken texture sitting above boldly structured tannic framework

In a region otherwise known for muscular

The grapes undergo a long

bouncing-ball of Riesling

the balance being made up with Malvasia

Easy drinking Sicilian Caterratto for knocking back with abandon

lending even more range to Mikaël's output
