Vinsobres "Primitae" 2023
Region: Rhone
Producer: Domaine Saint Vincent
Why we chose this wine
Vinsobres enjoys a Mediterranean-influenced climate; the summers there are hot and dry. The wines are fresh and fruity and show beautiful aromatic profiles.
Na een grotendeels handmatige oogst worden de druiven volledig ontsteeld. De vinificatie vindt plaats in betonnen vaten, waarbij de wijn dagelijks wordt rondgepompt voor een optimale kleurextractie.
De wijn blijft meer dan vier weken in contact met de schillen en pitten (de 'marc') om de fenolische verbindingen op milde wijze te extraheren.
Dit resulteert in een lange rijpingsperiode in de tank voorafgaand aan het bottelen.
| Volume | 75.0 cl. |
| Grape Variety | 50% Grenache – 50% Syrah |
| Drinking window | 2025-2037 |
| Alc. | 14.5% |
| Vinification | After a largely hand-picked harvest the grapes are fully destemmed. Vinification takes place in concrete vats, with a daily pump-over for optimal colour extraction. The wine stays in contact with the skins and pips for more than four weeks. |
| Ripening | This results in a long ageing period in tank before bottling. |
