Domaine Chante Cigale L’Apostrophe Sans Sulfites Ajoutes Rouge Mediterranee

Domaine Chante Cigale L’Apostrophe Sans Sulfites Ajoutes Rouge Mediterranee - A robust, Southern Rhône-style red blend with a lovely wild, garrigue character.

Now with no added sulphites, the fruit is more primary and pure with a fresh and slightly restrained palate. Rich and powerful - the Grenache adds flesh - this has all the intense flavours of the south.

Sourced from the family's vineyard in Travaillon, 10 miles from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Vines are at least 35 years old and grow in soils made up of clay and chalk covered with a layer of pebbles, which naturally keeps yields low. After a manual harvest and grape selection, grapes are destemmed, crushed and cold macerated. Fermentation is for two weeks at 28ºC with daily pumping over and now with no addtion of sulphites. It is aged on its fine lees for 6 months in stainless steel.

Great with richly flavoured casseroles and grilled meats and baked Mediterranean chicken.

Sold in cases of six bottles
