ABOUT THIS WINE

The 2023 vintage emphasizes freshness and varietal expression, with grapes harvested to avoid jamminess and fermented at controlled temperatures.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Trapadis Côtes du Rhône Blovac is crafted from 100% Grenache Noir grapes grown on 2.5 hectares of vines in Rasteau. The domaine employs certified organic and biodynamic farming methods, eschewing chemical treatments and prioritizing vine health. Grapes are harvested at a point that emphasizes freshness and avoids overripeness. Vinification involves fermentation at low temperatures (16-18°C) to foster varietal and secondary aromas. The wine is then aged for approximately twelve months in cement tanks, a technique chosen to maintain the purity of the fruit and its terroir expression, without any oak influence.
