Les Boules Rouge 2023 Vin de France
Les Boules Rouge Vin de France is a blend of southern French grapes, a delicious blackcurrant-scented joie de vivre wine. It shows blackberry and bramble flavours, with a hint of raspberry; a spicy, perfumed, peppery blend that will pair well with a variety of foods.
The fruit is sourced from carefully selected vineyards in the Pays d’Oc. The Pays d’Oc area has a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild winters, with the majority of rainfall occurring during the spring and autumn. Dry, continental winds from the north west bring cooling influences to the vineyards, which help to reduce disease pressure. This wind is interspersed with warm winds from the south, which bring moisture to the vines. Each vineyard site has its own terroir characteristics which add subtle complexity to the resulting wine.
Each grape variety was cool-fermented separately in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the purity of fruit and freshness in the resulting wine. Following fermentation, the wines were carefully blended at the winery in Pizay.
