Producer Details
In the vineyard
The southern Rhone valley is swathed in warm sunny vineyards and peppered with hilltop stone-hewn villages on its rocky outcrops. Outside of the delimited areas of the famous village appellations, the wine the local vignerons make and enjoy with their friends in the village cafes and bistros is Pays de Vaucluse. Cuvée Jean Paul Rouge is made predominantly from a blend of Grenache and Syrah from the Vin de Pays de Vaucluse. Traditional Rhone-based viticulture is used with part manual/part machine harvest.
In the winery
Vinified from Grenache and Syrah grapes harvested in the Vaucluse area of the southern Rhone. Grapes are put in fermentation vats and cooled in order to slow the fermentation process and gain immediate fruit flavours. Maceration between 5 to 10 days before pneumatic pressing.
Food Recommendations
Drink with hearty food such as grilled meats and casseroles. Also great with BLTs, pizzas and mature, hard cheeses.
