Terroir Daronton, AOC Ventoux, Blanc, 2018

Terroir Daronton pays homage to the men who founded the Vacqueyras and Beaumes de Venise cellars in 1950 to provide the best possible conditions for making and ageing wines from their villages. Le Terroir Daronton epitomises the finest expression of Rhone Valley, as well as over 60 years of expertise handed down from generation to generation.

Terroir Daronton Ventoux is made from grapes grown on three different types of soil, which explain its unique personality and suave flavour: hills with light sandy soil, slopes with zaffer, a mix of sandstone and sand sediment, and a terrace of fallen rocks propitious to winegrowing.

The grapes are cooled to retain their colour and fresh fruit aromas. They undergo a short maceration before pressing. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. The wine is aged in vat for a short while before bottling.
