Vin Doux Naturel Rasteau
Rasteau Vin Doux Naturel is a sweet wine made from 100% Grenache Noir in the southern Rhône valley with its own AOC. Using very ripe grapes and a winemaking style similar to Maderia, Vin Doux Naturel is the style of wine that Rasteau had hisctorically been known for producing.
Stony clay-limestone terrain (with lots of white rolled pebbles) on a hillside particularly well exposed. It is characterized by small, highly concentrated clusters.

The wine presents a well-integrated profile of ripe blackberries, red cherries, and plum, supported by a refined structure. Mid-palate complexity is enhanced by notes of baking spice, subtle vanilla, and a hint of licorice. The finish is persistent, with lingering notes of fruit, spice, and a touch of mineral tension.
