The vintage
2021 was atypical! Rain, frost... hopefully the vineyards in the hills of Beaumes de Venise suffered less. Lower temperatures have resulted in good natural acidity levels, which means lower alcohol in the final wines.Thanks to the great work of our team, we have harvested less quantities of grapes but all in very quood quality.
