Presentation
Terroir Daronton - named after its founders - delivers the finest expression of Rhone Valley wines.
Each cuvée is a blend of grape varieties and soils, selected for their ability to deliver the most accurate expression of its appellation. "Limited Editions" are partly oak aged. More complex, the wines will also have a longer ageing capacity.

Reviews
"Lots of cassis and both red and blue fruits emerge from the 2020 Vacqueyras Terroir Daronton Édition Spéciale, a medium-bodied, incredibly Provençal Vacqueyras that has supple tannins, nicely integrated acidity, and a great finish. It has the purity and freshness to drink nicely right out of the gate yet the structure and balance to evolve of 8-10 years."
