Vineyards & Viticulture
A collection of plots of vines planted on the Vacqueyras, Rasteau (Crus), Roaix and Seguret (Côtes-du-Rhône Villages) communes. It is this combination that give this cuvée the name `The Four Lands.`

Soils
Vacqueyras: sandy sloping soils; Roaix: sand and grit; Séguret: Alluvial calcarous clay terraces; Rasteau: Old broken stone terraces and red calcarous soils on a bed of gravel.

Harvest & Vinification
Manually harvested with a strict selection process. The whole crop ferments for 20 days after a short maceration, with partial destemming. Aged 90% in Stockinger foudres, 10% in terracotta jars (amphora). Bottling without fining or filtration.
