Colour: dark and deep ruby with purple undertones. Nose: very rich with ripe black fruit, cherry, fig and slightly smoky. Mouth: round and powerful, great balance between the tannins and the body, with notes of red fruit. Good ageing potentialVineyard Notes
Château de Beaucastel is 110 hectares, with one single plot at the north of the appellation. The terroir is archetypal of the best terroirs in Châteauneuf: rolled pebbles on the surface, sand, clay and limestone deeper down. The vines are old and have been organically grown for 50 years, which has allowed the roots to grow exceptionally deep. Beaucastel grows all thirteen grape varieties authorised by the appellation.Winemaking
Vinification is completed in truncated oak barrels for the reductive grapes (Mourvèdre and Syrah) and in traditional tiled cement tanks for the oxidative grapes (such as Grenache). After the malolactic fermentations, the family blends the different varietiesAgeing
the wine ages in oak Foudres for a year before bottling.Largest Wine Storage Facility in Tampa / Ybor
