Terroir Daronton, Vacqueyras, Rouge, 2024

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.

2024 has been full of weather challenges. Spring brought disease pressure, summer droughts reduced yields, and heavy rains in September added to the difficulties. Even so, the great quality of the wines reflects the skill, dedication, and great adaptability of our Artisans winegrowers and winemakers.

Vines are located in the "La Ponche" and "Garrigue" sectors. Soils of blue clay and limestone.

Harvest at optimum maturity. Short maceration of 15-18 days. Fermentation at controlled temperature (26-27°C). Daily pumping-over.
