2022 Beaucastel - Cotes du Rhone Coudoulet de Beaucastel

Amicone is made from a unique blend of selected red grapes cultivated in the Veneto region. Part of these grapes undergoes a particular harvesting process in the vineyards, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Another section of the grapes undergoes a special drying process in wooden crates in rooms at controlled temperatures. The grapes are then pressed and vinified. Once the final blend is created, part of the wine goes through a slow maturation process in tonneaux for 12 months.

This wine comes from the volcanic island of
Madeira. The agricultural land is characterised by very
sharp slopes which have generally been made
into terraces known as “poios”. The grapes had
a strong influence from the sun, wind and sea
breeze, producing wines with a balanced acidity

Clos Le Vigneau is a single vineyard from an area known as "les Gués d'Amant" or "Lover's Gap". Most of the vines were planted in 1929. 

Off dry in style with honey, earth and apricot notes. Wines from the town of Vouvray have been known to age well for 40 years. This particular bottling should hold for at least 5-7 years.
