Aged 6 months in large French oak barrels

a pleasant tannic sensation and mineral notes

with cap-punching morning and evening and scrupulous temperature control

It's crisp and lean yet full of life

the alocholic fermentation starts with indigenous yeast

Costieres de Nîmes by Pierre Vidal, 2020 Sauternes Aged 6 months in largeSouthern Ctes du Rhne blend of 60% Grenache with roughly equal parts of the Syrah and Mourvdre grapes, its a fleshy but elegant wine, with an enveloping core of spicy dark berries and a firm grip of tannins. Beyond the fruit, its the expression of the soil that gives the wine its true identity. It's a wild, seductive, rustic wine that exudes the South of France.
