Gigondas Domaine de la Tourade 1998
Denne rødvin fra årgang 1998 er produceret af Domaine de la Tourade, der drives af André Richard. Som 'Propriétaire Récoltant' står han selv for både dyrkningen af druerne og fremstillingen af vinen, som efterfølgende er tappet direkte på vingården. Vinen bærer klassifikationen Appellation Gigondas Contrôlée.
Gigondas er beliggende i den sydlige del af Rhône-regionen i Frankrig, lige ved foden af bjergkæden Dentelles de Montmirail, og udgør en af områdets vigtigste cru-appellationer. Vinene herfra er traditionelt baseret på druesorten Grenache, ofte suppleret med Syrah og Mourvèdre. De sammenlignes hyppigt med vinene fra Châteauneuf-du-Pape, men fremstår ofte med en lidt fastere og mere bjergpræget struktur.
Vinen har en alkoholprocent på 14,5. Producenten bemærker, at vinen er fremstillet med stor omhu og derfor kan fremvise et let, naturligt bundfald i flasken. Selve flasken er desuden klassisk udformet med præget 'GIGONDAS'-tekst i glasset.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Côtes du Rhône
The Rhône Valley in south-eastern France has grown wine since Roman times. The region falls into two parts: the northern section with steep slopes, where Syrah produces deep wines in Côte-Rôtie and Hermitage, and the warmer south, where Grenache-based blends culminate in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The wines are spicy and powerful with dark berries, pepper and garrigue herbs.
Da denne vin blev lavet, så verden meget anderledes ud. Her er nogle af de historier, der udspillede sig, mens denne flaske stille ældes i sin kælder.
