VIRIDI, the Latin word for &#8220;verdant&#8221;, pays tribute to organic winegrowing savoir-faire and to this wine with its luscious fruit and lovely round character.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #b2254b;\"><strong>Appearance<\/strong> <\/span>\u2013 Fairly intense ruby hue with purplish tints.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #b2254b;\"><strong>Nose<\/strong> <\/span>\u2013 Intense and fruity. In its early youth, the nose is fresh with red raspberry fruit aromas and a hint of liquorice and cut hay. After two to three years of cellar-ageing, strawberry jam and gingerbread dominate the first nose, which then goes on to develop undergrowth and garrigue scrubland notes with a hint of violets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #b2254b;\"><strong>Palate<\/strong> <\/span>\u2013 When young, the wine is fresh and soft with loads of fruit. With age, the palate becomes very broad with a lovely finish and is underpinned by aromas of strawberry jam and undergrowth.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=&#8221;LOCATION, TERROIR &amp; VINIFICATION&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">LOCATION<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The vineyards are located in the <em>commune <\/em>of Sainte-C\u00e9cile-les-Vignes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #b2254b;\">TERROIR<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The vines for the VIRIDI are very much at home in the very stony, clay and sand soils (Lauzes and limestone pebbles) located at an altitude almost identical to that of Ch\u00e2teauneuf-du-Pape. They enjoy the benefit of our region\u2019s very windy semi-Mediterranean climate. These soils lend the grapes a lovely structure. Organic winegrowing methods, without the use of synthetic chemicals, preserve biodiversity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #b2254b;\">VINIFICATION &amp; AGEING<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Grenache grapes are harvested earlier than in conventional (non-organic) winegrowing and will provide plenty of fruit and freshness. VIRIDI is produced in a very traditional manner. After being introduced into concrete vats, the grapes ferment naturally at a temperature of 26-28\u00b0C. Two pumping over operations per day, rack and return and a stirring of the lees (b\u00e2tonnage) are carried out during the alcoholic fermentation. We use very little sulphite in the production of this wine in order to fully comply with the specifications of organic viticulture. Malolactic fermentation, which is essential to red wines, is followed by 12 months of ageing in concrete tanks to develop a lovely roundness.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=&#8221;RECOMMENDATIONS&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #b2254b;\"><strong>SERVING<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Serve at 17\u00b0C.
