PAD Côtes Du Roussillon Villages

GRAPES:
Very old Syrah and Grenache vines.
We have selected plots on hillsides, on old vines and yields do not exceed 10 hectoliters per hectare.
Production available: 0 to 800 bottles per vintage

TERROIR:
At an altitude of 100 to 200 meters, the shallow clay-limestone hillsides, where these magnificent grapes are harvested, face south and take full advantage of the benefits of the generous sun.

HARVEST AND VINIFICATION:
A selective and rigorous sorting is carried out during the manual harvest. The harvest is placed in a cold room for 24 hours in order to carry out a cold pre-fermentation extraction. Destemming and crushing follow. The Syrahs and Grenaches spend 18 to 24 months in new 500-litre barrels. This develops its spicy side as well as a sensual presence of vanilla.
The assembly of this wine can then be done. The result is the Delmas “pad”, a structured, powerful, balanced and silky wine.

ADVICE FROM THE WINEGROWER:
The deep garnet color of this wine is a real pleasure to transfer it to a carafe one hour before serving it. The glow of the candle will bring out its magnificent reflections.
This wine should be served at room temperature (18°C).
In its aromas, you will find the scrubland that surrounds the vineyard. Spices and white pepper will also be added. Aromas of red fruits make it even more seductive.
The passage in barrel brings the subtlety of vanilla and a slight toasted presence. This wine will go perfectly with your grilled meat dishes, in sauces or spiced.
