Winemaker Vincent Ruiz calls this wine 'Prima Materia' - n. 'a formless primeval substance regarded as the original material of the universe'. This aligns with the profile of the wine. Pure of heart, pleasantly wild, and a gastronomic pleasure.
+ GRAPE: Certified organic. 100% Grenache Noir. Negociant fruit grown on clay-limestone soils in the Ardeche region of the Rhone, France, by long-time friend Jean Francois Ganevat.
+ PROFILE: Pro tip! Drink me with a medium chill for max enjoyment. Dry-but-juicy. Medium body. Red raspberry, cranberry, waxy sour cherry, savage berries, and conifer tips.
+ FUNDAMENTALS: Balanced, natural winemaking: wild yeast, aged on the less in all stainless steel vessels. No fining or filtration. Zero added sulfites. This is a wine to consume upon opening - e.g. not one to pop and store on the counter for a few days :)
+ FUN FACT: Vincent Ruiz trained for five years under Frank Balthazar, the famed Cotes du Rhone winemaker.
