Colin Vieilles Vignes Rouge 2023

A 2023 organic and biodynamic red from the Loire, blended from Pineau d'Aunis, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Franc. The vines are between 50 and 90 years old and grow on clay and flint soils. The grapes are fermented without added yeast or chaptalisation, with a long maceration in stainless steel tanks for gentle extraction. The wine then spends about a year in barrel, which adds depth while keeping freshness. The nose shows ripe red fruit with the peppery spice typical of Pineau d'Aunis. The palate is supple and balanced, with fresh fruit and fine tannins, and the finish is persistent with spice and crisp fruit.
