À L’ÉTAT PUR: From Vine to Glass
Discover À L’ÉTAT PUR
An organic vegan wine from a producer committed to sustainable development.
GRAPE VARIETY
100% monastrell from goblet-pruned old vines (at least 25 years old).
GEOGRAPHICAL ORIGIN
The wine comes from a vineyard located in Jumilla, in southeastern Spain. The grapes are harvested from organic vines, grown at an altitude of 850 metres on sandy limestone soil covered with white and beige stones from the white marble plateau of the neighbouring hills.
TRACEABILITY
The traceability of this international wine is ensured “from vine to glass”.
HARVESTING, WINEMAKING AND MATURING
Grapes harvested by hand in 20 kg crates. Natural alcoholic fermentation in vats with minimal pump-overs and rackings, to allow gentle tannin extraction while maintaining a balanced structure. Native yeasts, inoculated from a strain originating in our grapes and our cellar, launch the alcoholic fermentation, which is followed by malolactic fermentation. Both fermentation and maturing occur in stainless steel vats.
TASTING
Dark purple colour, rich and supple on the palate, round tannins giving way to notes of dark berries and spices, nice overall balance, velvety mouthfeel, depth and a long finish supporting clean fruit flavours.
Signed Bodegas Juan Gil, Nathalie Bonhomme, Maxime Balthazard and Michel Favuzzi.
Available in Rachelle-Béry health food stores and some IGA stores for $15.99 + tax.
