Terroir Daronton, Côtes du Rhône Villages Visan, White, 2022

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.

Between heat and drought, the weather conditions have been challenging again this year. However, thanks to the remarkable resilience of our vines and the dedicated efforts of our Artisan Winegrowers and technical staff, the 2022 vintage promises to be of outstanding quality.

The vineyard, located on southwest-facing slopes, is around thirty years old and grows at altitudes ranging from 250 to 300 meters. The soils are predominantly clay-limestone with micro-zones of sandy textures.
The Mediterranean climate brings hot, dry summers, but due to its northern position, the vineyard is also heavily influenced by a continental climate with the Mistral wind playing a major role. Winters are therefore colder than in the southern part of the region, contributing to excellent vineyard health.
The vines are trained in both gobelet and double cordon de Royat systems, with a planting density of 4,000 to 4,500 vines per hectare and an average yield of 35 hl/ha.

Traditional by direct pressing. Control of the vinification temperature between 14 ° and 17 ° C.
