Rasteau VDN

Rasteau VDN "Taïs" Red

Rasteau

Rasteau VDN is one of the two crus  VDN existing in the Rhone Valley. Located on the heights of Rasteau 300 at meters above sea level, the vineyard covers a single spread of 4ha on a plateau surrounded by woods. This exceptional Rasteau VDN is harvested by hand. The very best bunches are selected and remain on the vine to ripen until October. This late harvest is vinified in new barrels for 1 month, fortified with spirits during maceration. Maturing is in a 400 litre barrel for 18 months. The wine is lightly filtered before bottling.

Taïs VDN Rasteau is a gem, named after of the winemaker’s daughter. It is great with strong cheese, with desserts, especially chocolaty ones… Or as an after dinner drink.
