Terroir Daronton - Bio, AOC Vacqueyras, Rouge, 2023

Originating from 13 names... those of the thirteen founders who came together and gathered a team of expert winemakers to create a trusted signature for Rhone Valley wines. As a tribute to their work, the name DARONTON was born from a blend of parts of their names.
Our "Organic" wines specifically highlight our Winemaker Artisans who are certified "Organic Farming".

2023 was a year full of contrasts: warm temperatures at the end of December and beginning of January raised concerns about early budding; a return to normalcy continued until February with relatively cool weather; a persistent drought accompanied by a strong Mistral wind, followed by regular rainfall until the end of June. Thanks to constant vigilance in the vineyards, the berries were healthy and well-ripened when harvest started, promising one of the finest vintages of the past decade.

Soils with round pebbles, limestone and clay.

Harvest at optimum maturity. Grapes are destemmed and pressed. Traditional vinification under controlled temperatures.
