Château de l’Escarelle Red 2010
Château de l'Escarelle
Coteaux Varois en Provence
Grenache, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan
Garnet red in color. On the palate, Syrah reveals flavors of ripe strawberry and macerated red fruits. This wine will evolve beautifully over 3 to 5 years.
Pairs well with Provençal cuisine and cheeses such as goat and brebis.
Grapes are harvested at night to take advantage of cool temperatures.
Traditional methods are used, with careful attention paid to each parcel. Process includes destemming before crushing, traditional vinification, and a short harvest (6 to 8 days) to protect the Syrah grapes’ fresh aromas.
The estate features old vines planted in calcareous rock soil. The best parcels are planted at mid-altitude with exceptional sunshine and a warm Provençal climate.
