La Vieille Ferme Rose 1.5 L

Introduction

The fragrant nose reveals hints of red fruit and cherries. Lively and long in the mouth, it is very aromatic with great acidity that brings freshness. Producer Information Famille Perrin is a leading wine producer and ngociant in the southern Rhne Valley. The business was established in 1997, and today makes wines from some of the region’s most famous appellations, including Vacqueyras, Gigondas and Chteauneuf-du-Pape. The Perrin family has been making wine in the region since the early 1900s, when scientist Pierre Perrin inherited the Chteau de Beaucastel estate. Perrin’s grandchildren, Franois and Jean-Pierre, founded the Famille Perrin business together before passing on the reins two years later to the fifth-generation Perrin, Pierre, in 1999. In addition to its renowned Chteau de Beaucastel estate, Famille Perrin’s portfolio includes Miraval, Domaine du Clos des Tourelles and La Vielle Ferme. Domaine du Clos des Tourelles is situated in Gigondas and comprises 10 hectares (25 acres) of vineyards planted to 80 percent Grenache, with smaller plantings of Syrah, Cinsaut and Mourvdre. The La Vielle Ferme brand was established in the 1970s, and comprises a range of red, ros and white wines from vineyards in Ventoux and Luberon. Famille Perrin uses organic and biodynamic approaches in its vineyards. The company’s red and ros wines include the likes of Chteauneuf-du-Pape, Ctes du Rhone Villages and Tavel all based predominantly on the Grenache variety.
