About the wine
Hands off winemaking = flavours you need to get your hands on
- Small-scale artisan winemakers in France are going through their toughest year in living memory. These guys rely on bars and restaurants, wine fairs and tourism to sell their wines, so they’ve really struggled. Millions of bottles of wine are stuck in cellars, going nowhere. That’s why we’ve decided to help.
- This is a crisp, bright white Rhone - refreshingly clean with exotic hints of tropical fruits and sweet floral aromas. In other words, it's a classy number.
- The process taken to make such a top notch tipple however, is notably 'hands off'. The grapes have been matured in traditional concrete vats and kept out of contact with the air for at least 8 months. This minimalist approach has really reaped the benefits, making for fuller flavours.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Claude Serra and Daniel Orsolini
-
With almost 50 years of winemaking experience behind them, and nearly 2 decades working together as a team, Claude and Daniel are seasoned veterans and masters of the art of classic, hands-off French winemaking.
-
Claude is a Rhone Valley winemaking specialist who’d been producing some of the region’s easiest drinkers long before partnering up with Daniel in 2004. So when the pair were offered a handful of vineyards and the chance to return to the Rhone in 2013, they both leapt at the opportunity.
-
They’re passionate champions of the local terroir and grapes - especially Grenache and Carignan - and their aim in every wine is to transport you to their little corner of France. All their wines are an authentic expression of the Rhone, made in the most natural way possible, super elegant and super delicious.
